  1. Threr all THAT and a bag of chips. The J-35 is a perfect giging guitar.
  2. And yet you bought it anyway.
  3. If you installed med gauge strings on your Humingbird it could raise the action. Gibson ships the Humingbird with light strings.
  4. Gibson , would not ship a guitar out of the factory with 9/64 bass 3/64 treble action.
  5. Taylor guitars may sometimes have a lower action but a properly adjusted Gibson or Martin acoustic will play/sound just as good. I'm a Taylor guitar guy but It is hard to beat a Gibson that is set up right. There is somthing about the smell and feel of a Gibson that has me hooked. I just bought a Gibson Les Paul Standard two months ago. My next acoustic guitar will be a Gibson. I have been looking at a J-45 true Vintage or a Country Western Sheryl Crow but I played a Gibson Songwriter Deluxe (no cut away) that really spoke to me the other day. I also played a Dove that was amazing but the price is out of my comfort zone and it was just to pretty, Flame maple everywere.
  6. You are correct, the measurments are without a capo.
  7. String height on a Gibson acoustic guitar should be 4/64 at trebile side and 6/64 at the bass side measured at the 12th fret when set at the Gibson factory. It's odd that the treble side is below spec and the bass side is way above spec. Either there is too much neck relief,too much humidity for your guitar, someone filed the saddle wrong. somthing is in the saddle slot and the saddle is not all the way in the slot, or your guitar needs a neck reset. Gibson would not ship a guitar from the factory with the set up this bad. Factory set string height for a Taylor guitar is 3/64-4/64 on the treble side and 5/64-6/64 on bass side. Martin guitars set the action at 4/64 on treble side and 6/64 on bass side.
  8. Here are some pictures of Beaulah. Beaulah means bride.
