JuanCarlosVejar Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Here's a demo of one of the July Limited Editions: JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Sounds pretty good, I reckon, though it is cheating to record an acoustic guitar in a roomful of more acoustic guitars. Looks like they could have done a better job on quarter sawing the top, especially on a natural top.........grain runout shows quite distinctly. Real professional ending to the video as well........ <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMELEYE Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Agree about the top's runout. Wouldn't be my choice. Hopefully other examples of this new model will have better looking tops. Sounds pretty good but what with all the strumming and a tiny bit of finger picking, it's hard to really get an idea of what this model can do. Anyone know how it's braced? Thickness of neck?

Jalex Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 It's priced the same as a 2016 J-45 vintage which has an adi/sunburst top. Other than the J-50 having a cooked Sitka/natural top l'm not sure what the differences are. I agree that's not a particularly good looking spruce top for a pricey guitar.

MorrisrownSal Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Thanks JC. Sounds fine, but then again not sure what I can tell from the videos. I do miss Tony Polecastro's Music Avila videos. His routine really let you gauge guitar differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanCarlosVejar Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 In my opinion if the guitar was a lefty I would get it because I loved the sound of the clip.Run out does not bother me. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58 Relic Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Nice guitar , must admit at that price I would want a better looking top but really nice sound fingerpicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scriv58 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 the fingerpicked part at the end - the tone really reminds me of bob dylan's j50 that he played on his first 3 albums...love love love that tone but i just received a 2016 j45 vintage two weeks ago today so i'll shut up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayoubengal1954 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Real professional ending to the video as well........ <_< Yeah what was up with that? Was it an act that was supposed to be funny, or does the video editor hate that Dude and wants to show what a jerk he really is? Nice guitar, though.

scriv58 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 concerning the run out, if a guitar had the tone and playability, i could live with it being spray painted krylon hot pink (though i'd druther it t'weren't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyd Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Didn't do much for me. But YouTube videos seldom do. $4000 is way, way more than I would dream of paying for any current Gibson model. Not very impressed with his playing, I think they were trying to be "cute" at the end of the video, like the way some movies include embarrassing out-takes during the credits. I wouldn't have even watched that much if I wasn't curious about the comments people made on the ending - was ready to click away after about 30 seconds of his playing.
