Hi all,
I am Adrian from Perth, Western Australia. I am the proud owner of a J200 Std, a Hummingbird and a LG-2 American Eagle.
Before buying my first Gibson, I had 2 Martin's - a D-28 and a Clapton 000-28 (I had previously owned and sold a 000-15m as well). All lovely guitars. I then bought the J-200, fell in lust with it and barely picked up the Martin's again. I ended up selling the two Martins and getting the other two Gibsons. You don't see many Gibson acoustics in Perth, so went out on a limb and bought the J-200 and Eagle sight unseen. I was able to play the bird prior to purchase. I took a risk but it was worth it. I love the sound and playability. The nut width just suits me better. Don't get me wrong, I still liked my Martin's, they were excellent guitars, and will likely get another, just not any time soon, considering I acquired all three Gibsons within the last year, and there not cheap over here.
I have been trawling the forums for the past year or so and thought it was time to introduce myself.
Cheers
Adrian
