  1. Gearbasher, send me a pm and I’ll send photos.
  2. I am holding a J-45 guitar for a friend. It is still packed up as it was shipped from a retail store. My heat went out. Will temperatures in the high 59-mid 60 cause any damage to the nitro finish?
  3. I know the Kalamazoo KG guitars don’t have adjustable truss rods. My question is do they have metal rods in the neck at all?
  4. I found the site guitardaterproject.org and entered the serial number 01109012 and it came back made in Bozeman Montana April 20, 2009. Why the spec sheet says no for made in USA is a mystery.
  5. I have seen some of these vintage looking reissues on various sites for sale and the location of the guitar is in Japan. This guitar is in Ashville NC, says it was made for the Japanese market, the data sheet says "Made In USA-No", yet on the back of the headstock is the Gibson Custom Shop label. It is a 2009 LG-2 that replicates the 40's banner guitars. Does anyone have any info on these guitars? Are they made in Japan authorized by Gibson? Thanks. https://reverb.com/item/760768-gibson-lg-2-2009?device=ios-app

  7. Rod,

    Thanks for contacting me but I need the cash. I wouldn't be interested in trading.

  8. Hey kingme, I live close to the Outer Banks and about an hour away. I am cash poor but have trading material and would like to check out your guitar and try some vintage goodness....let me know,

  9. Under-rated, definitely the Seagull S-6. It is a very nice sounding and well made guitar, short scale to boot, somewhat slope shoulders too. I think some models Gibson distributes can be overrated, not worth the prices on some of them. Martin also for the same reasons (like the signature models). As far as the Taylor debate, I have always recognized they are quality made and great sounding guitars. They don't sell a ton of them because they are crappy instruments. However, I too have never had a desire for one, and mostly because of the neck; felt too much like an electric guitar. THEN, I went in to a store here in Virginia Beach and found a Grand Concert Built to Order with a redwood sinker top and rosewood back and sides. Because it is a small body guitar it does not have that Martin rosewood body woof woof sound. It is bright and with a beautiful ring to it. The neck was stained and finished gloss as is the Martin and Gibson guitars. Slotted headstock, short scale, ebony binding...... It is a beautiful playing and sounding guitar. It is THE perfect "couch guitar" (and I have two LG-2s). Would I ever buy another Taylor, no. Most likely not. This one is very unique and because it is a BTO there is not another one like it. Would I buy another J-45 True Vintage, call me crazy but yes!
  10. I just navigated to this. I didn't know it existed. The March 2011 is pretty old I forget what I pinged you for! Michael King

  12. Hey Kingme, thanks for thinking of me....try onewilyfool@yahoo.com

  13. I have the same year J-45 you have, a 2007. Does your guitar have a single pearl dot on both sides of your bridge pins on the bridge? I notice the new J-45 TVs with the Adi tops do not. Thanks. Michel
