Members Gibson29 Posted March 27, 2023 Members Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Collection/acoustic-custom-shop-historic Haven’t been wowed by a guitar in ages, played some of these and I’m a convert. Now I just need the money… Yeah, Gibson has always played fast and loose with their specs, these are pretty close. I think the J-35 I played weighed in around 4#, all of them very light, and each one just had that sound you’d expect from a 4-5K guitar.

All guitar talk seems to be AGF or the UMGF. there’s..what..3 guys that keep an eye on sh** here, and don’t contribute. WHICH, I might add, I’m one. I don’t either, so my bad. But there’s hope! In 5 or 6 years, someone will ask a question in THIS VERY TOPIC, STARTED BY MOI, as their first post!

We are running on fumes, zero admin support, ad revenues somehow keep the lights on, and there are a handful of moderators [4, actually] keeping the peace while waiting for the flame to be blown out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sez 5 days later🤣. But hey, that 1942 Gibson Custom Shop J-45, Southern Jumbo, ‘34 Jumbo, Advanced Jumbo, J-35, take your pick, these are some of the best things coming out of the guitar world today. I would encourage anyone reading to seek one out and play it. Edited April 4, 2023 by Gibson29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gibson29 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Members Share Posted November 1, 2023 I’ve had the J-45 and Southern Jumbo for a few months now, love the J-45, like the SJ. Neck comfort better on the J-45, and the sound..just a lot different than the standard. I’ll keep it, SJ will go consignment at Dave’s I think. Martin Authentic 1939 D-18, aged, not aged, another one with a great neck, 1-11/16”, and again, sound very different than standard. This is on the radar, but the SJ and maybe 0-18 will fund it. If I can find one under 5K, rare but possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
