Holy hijack! Haha, j/k - I don't mind. But, to answer a previous question - I had the neck reset sometime around 2008 (after my beach playing days). Thank you for so much information.

Did some snooping around online... I think the top (and maybe sides) are walnut.

I've had a 1980 Gibson J-40 for about 15 years and I've never seen another one like this particular guitar. The side and tops are stained Dark Brown so is the back of the neck and head), back is mahogany, standard tear-drop pickguard (black), and has a pick-up in the bridge. The pick-up is nasally, but sounds dreamy through my Sans Amp. I love it. It has been a work-horse and I'm always complimented on it. I'm asking because I'm thinking about replacing it (hopefully with another one just like it). I use to play at the beach and it has wreaked havoc with the neck. It has been reset once (6 years ago), but the luthier had warned me that it wouldn't last and I think time is about up. Does anyone know about this kind of J-40? I'd be interested in learning about other models with the same neck. Thank you!
