MorrisrownSal Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Then there is no hope for Man. This is stunning. Rosewood Slope. Ren signed. Isn't there a thread about someone wanting another slope after just selling a J45? You're welcome. http://guitars.com/inventory/ag6456-2004-gibson-heart-texas-j-45-rosewood The stars at night.

Be nice to your nurses! That person would be me who recently sold an uninspiring J45 and was looking for another one...until today. I ended up buying a guitar. The one you posted the link to is real nice, but I have to admit I'm not a fan of all the abalone or those inlays especially on a J45. This is just my insignificant opinion, but abalone just doesn't look right on a J45. Part of the attraction of a J45 for me is it's understated, stark, basic, bare bones yet classy look. No neck binding, simple dot inlays, nothing real fancy and all it really needs is just a nice burst and you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 As a fan of rosewood J-45's, I would be ok with this. Those fretboard inlays are interesting; 'seen them before, too. However, the tuners . . . (j/k) Most importantly- glad to hear Pop's doin' ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannusguy2 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Nice looking guitar but can't stand those tuners. Wishing your dad a speedy recovery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 The rose 45's I tried have usually been good and very convincing guitars - and admit having a weak spot for head-stock bindings, but pass. Frankly I'm more interested in that red fried one right behind you. That said even though my own TV's sound terrific and get me flying almost each day, , , w. faded steel. Cheers Nice looking guitar but can't stand those tuners. Agree (regarding this particular 45) - any suggestions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I like it - not too overblown. Can someone explain why it is called 'Heart Of Texas' to me? I thought the inlays would be longhorns when the pic was blown up but no... BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotneck Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 As a J-45 its all wrong. It could be acceptable if it was called something else.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Does nothing for me. Now, if it were a rosewood SJ, that would be another thing altogether. I can't believe they haven't made a repro of the FON 910 SJ's. one of the rarest and most dynamic of all Gibson slope-J's. Ask Tom Barnwell and JT. This is the one from that batch that Tom has now. I'm kicking myself for not buying it when I had my hands on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Nice guitar. If you blow-up the pics a little bit and use your imagination you might think the fretboard inlays kind of resemble a steer's head....lol...Beyond that, don't know what the link is to Texas. Ren is obviously a great luthier, but signatures don't mean anything to me. If I were looking for another J45, I'd likely look for a Standard or TV.......Of more interest is the fact that Sal's dad is doing well after surgery. I'm glad for you and your family, Sal.

Buc McMaster Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Sal, Sal, Sal............. It's a righty. Sheesh. It's rosewood. Sheesh. It's wearing Grover Rotos. Oh. My. God. Otherwise I'm sure it's a wonderful instrument that doesn't seem to have any connection to Texas at all. And it's good to hear pop is doing well.

Buc McMaster Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Very nice, Dave! The thread has officially been hijacked! (Is that one yours?) My last "live" rig.......and yes, those are leopard print pickup rings.......ha! Rock n' roll! Can't recall the model but the little amp was from the early 60s ('62 maybe...?) and it rocked! Used a Fulltone Tape Echo unit as a pre........that was a serious tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
