Cheers Rod

I have had lots of Gibsons, and still have several. Les Paul's, Country Gent's, Howard Roberts Fusion, Chet Atkins steel and nylon strings, ES175's, ES135's, ES137'sand an ES347 and I can honestly say that I have never had one that played or sounded badly. They all have their own sound subtleties, but I don't class any of them as "bad". I would love to have a Tal Farlow and given my experience with Gibsons, I would probably buy one sight unseen if the price was reasonable.

The Tal Farlow models are interesting. Once you have one you realize how much a part of Tal’s sound the actual guitar was responsible for. With the shorter scale the notes have a noticeably different sound form any other archtop. I never had one but have a fiend who has two of them.

I know that Tal experimented with short scales, but I thought the Gibson model with his name was the usual 25.5 inches.

David,
Thanks for pointing that out. It’s a good laugh. Brian

I guess the scale length depends on what type of ruler you use. LOL
Everyplace I go on the internet, it states it as 25.5", maybe they made some short scale ones back in the day. That must be the answer because someone out there has two of them that way. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi Andy,
I guess the scale length depends on what type of ruler you use. LOLI just found out the other day that the Danish "inch" is larger than the western "inch". Danish guys (and gals) must salivate when we say in America that we are 7 inches (I am being modest here to be polite to you guyz on the List). But if a Danish guy says he's 7-inches, watch out!! Ah, the world according to Sloyd... :-), Bobby
