SkyRider Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Finally got me a J-45...again. Had few J45’s in the past and I don’t know why I ever sold them...well I am hopeful this one will stick around. Perhaps just me but it seems burst has gotten better recently. Or maybe mine is just special :) Also to note, 2018 case is now brown as shown in picture and case candy has changed. No more pack of strings but now they include a strap, pick holder, towel, and most important... TRUSSROD TOOL!!! In the past it was pain to find one local thin enough to fit. I’m glad it’s included now. Also I don’t recall from the other ones I have owned but the body binding on this one is but more yellow in person. Me like it! Tone? Did I mention mine is special?!?! :D Question: anyone know what the stock strings are? It’s no longer the Gibson master built 80/20 it seems to me. It’s darker color such as PB.

62burst Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 That IS a beautiful burst. And pic # 3 shows a great break angle and tall saddle. Now I’ve got a new case to jones after, too. Congrats and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Oh yeah We all drool over various guitars seen in here , and rightly so , but to me there’s little beats the glorious burst and yet simplicity of a j45 That’s a beauty I’m annoyed at the brown case though. I always wanted a brown case Enjoy it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george wooden Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 SkyRider, congratulations on your new addition to your household. That is a stunning burst finish on your guitar, and the image of it in the case is the best one I have seen. The burst comes alive in that photo. I hope it plays and sounds as good as it looks.

fortyearspickn Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Really nice. Tri-burst I think. Looks like Bozeman is doing some marketing here with the case and the candy! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Really nice. Tri-burst I think. Looks like Bozeman is doing some marketing here with the case and the candy! Congrats! Same candy I received with my L1 a couple months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash_Starkiller Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Wow! That is super nice looking. I can say for certain that I am jealous of that case haha. And the truss rod tool. I wish mine had come with one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drathbun Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Arguably the best all-purpose workhorse of a guitar on the planet. (Martinettes would say a D-18) I love the round-shouldered J45. I never travel with any of my guitars but when I'm out of town for any length of time I will rent a J45. Congrats on a beautiful instrument. It will just get better and better.

That’s just stunning to me. Is that yours? Is it standard model with two tone burst? It almost look 3 tone burst with lots of yellow in the middle. Is the Photo processed in anyways? Geez... so perfect and love the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking the same...really looks like Gibson have sorted the inconsistent neck angle issues recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I was just thinking the same...really looks like Gibson have sorted the inconsistent neck angle issues recently. W e l l . . . Looking at the air under the low E, there is a fair amount of it under that string- but that is a scary-high saddle (not necessarily a bad thing {unless..}). A practical advantage of the non-black case such as the one above, or the Cali/TV/Vintage cases- less likely to be accidentally taken home in a multi guitar jam situation.

Murph Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I think they owe me a few straps....... Beautiful guitar, yes the J-45 is a thing of beauty and function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Sweet, Congratulations Skyrider. I have one but it is a '15 and recently I had a surgery that prevented me from playing my larger Dreads,instead I have spent most of my brief playing time with the LG-2 Ae. When I did get the 45 out recently I fell in love with it all over again they are great guitars.. Have fun my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie99 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 They’ve really got it right with the sunburst - very close to the ‘40s and 50s ones. Lovely guitars, J-45s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
