  1. Thanks for the information
  2. Does anyone know what the original bridge pin material would’ve been on a 55 J45?
  3. I’ll have to check if it has some scalloped bracing. I was here in Spokane when you lived here. The place has improved since then. 😀
  4. Was the restaurant maybe Thadeus T. Thudpucker’s?
  5. I remember the Cadillac sticking out of the roof but I don’t recall the vintage acoustics. I never did know of Red’s vintage guitars in Post Falls. It must’ve closed before I got heavily into guitar. That would be amazing to have a cool shop like that in the Spokane area now.
  6. 😀yeah, I traded three guitars for it. I usually wouldn’t trade but the store has had this since at least April when I first saw it. They were willing to deal. I think it was a fair trade, especially when I work in the tax I was able to avoid. It is everything I hoped it would be. My reissue sounded very similar to be honest. There is this dryness and volume increase on this one though. I love the actually real aged binding and checking into the finish. The history part makes it worth it for me. I drove from Spokane to Seattle and I’m in a hotel now. I’ll try and get a clip up when I get home. I tried four vintage j45’s and a vintage country and western today. Three were great and two were pretty underwhelming, so what they say is true about making sure you play one first.
  7. Awesome! I also tried a 1952 at a different store. It was amazing as well but I couldn’t get into that one price wise . I’m really happy with this’55 though
  8. One of the guitars I traded in was a reissue ‘50s J45.
  9. Thanks for getting my picture up. 😀
  10. I just bought this today! I’ve dreamed of a vintage J45 for many years. It sound great, dry and loud. The serial number is W282520. I see that the W was used in 1955. How can I tell what day by the numbers?
  11. Hello, I've loved Gibson acoustic guitars for a long time now. The ultimate acoustic in my opinion. A sunburst Gibson is the most beautiful guitar of all time.
