Hi - thanks for the input. Correct - price difference is not an issue. I intend to hang onto this guitar indefinitely so it’s important to me that I’m getting the best of Bozeman. I would like to re-frame my question: as I’m likely getting a Custom Shop Red Spruce build, my question is now a very simple one - traditional vintage sunburst or Tri-Burst?

Hi All, I am in the fortunate position that I will shortly be buying a new J45. However I am torn between the Standard and the rather nice J45 Red Spruce Tri-Burst. The latter is listed as a Gibson Custom Shop offering on Gibson’s European website. It has the standard nitrocellulose gloss finish. The Red Spruce version is approx €700 more. My question is simple: is the Red Spruce Tri-Burst worth the upcharge given users’ experiences? Thanks Kevin

Hi, greetings from Ireland. Am the proud owner of a 2013 Gibson Advanced Jumbo Red Spruce (bought as new old stock in Dublin in 2018). Super guitar and a real keeper. Have loved Gibson acoustics since I was in college and it really is magical. They really do live up to the hype! Kevin
