When you say the sound didn’t suit you, what did you mean? Too bright? Not warm enough? Thanks for any comments.

Just sold my Martin EC, looking for a similar size Gibson but a better finger picker and always been attracted to the early J165’s, if you know of a nice one, let me know, thanks. There’s a 2010 in San Diego on Craigslist but not ready to jump at $3200, looking for one closer to $2000?

Looking for a nice 2006-2008 J165, non-Cutaway, non-electric, played a ‘65 Country Western for over 40 years and just sold my ‘98 Martin EC, loved the Martin size and relatively ‘quiet’ output and thinking a J165 might be similar with a mellow, warm tone but a better finger picker? Thanks for any comments.

Looking at a Gibson Chet Atkins nylon string model CE ad on craigslist here in Chicago (serial number: 92181353) and not sure if it's the real deal. There's no headstock Gibson logo which means it's pre 1992 but how can I confirm it's real? What about unscrewing the back plate to look at the wiring? Thanks for any insight. https://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/msg/d/skokie-gibson-chet-atkins-nylon-strings/7113486253.html
