Hello I’m new to this forum I appreciate you allowing me to come in and ask questions it’s a great resource to have available I’m in the middle of trying to decide on a good quality guitar I had the opportunity to buy a mint condition rarely played kept in case 1966J 45. I understand that the bridge changed in the 50s? Is it the sound quality is greatly reduced doesanybody have an opinion on this. I think I’m getting a great price of $2700 but then I read sometimes if there’s such a your loss in quality sound that might be better off getting a 50s if I can afford it The 1966 J 45 $2700 or 2013 J 29 both near mint I know it’s subjective and his guitars are not exactly the same but I was wondering as far as basic quality and value which guitar would be more promising to you Thanks again and look forward to hearing from someone

I know I have a third guitar in contention. A 1996 J60 great condition no acoustic pickup. Thanks

Hello thanks for reply. So I can check the net set. It’s been stored for many years. It is a gift from a grandfather to a grandson who never picked up the guitar. The price seems great $2700 It’s supposed to be in mint condition all original The J 29 is 1600. Do you know if the Gibson acoustic sound good in 2013 as compared to the 60s I know this is subjective but I appreciate any thoughts thanks

Thanks I put a question in Gibson lounge. Is there a link for acoustic forum. I can’t locate Thanks for your helpThanks

Hello I’m trying to get feedback on 1966J 45 I understand the quality as reducing in the sound because of the adjustable bridge. This guitar is supposed mint condition has been stored in the case should I be concerned about possible defects if the strings attention on them something I might not see immediately? I know the different animals but does anybody have experience with the Gibson J 29 2013? I really appreciate the help I plan on going professionals I’m trying to find a good quality Acoustic Gibson guitar that is recognizable. i’m a singer songwriter and I was like playing blues rock etc. Thanks Al

Thanks

Hello I would love to get feedback from somebody has experience with Jay 45s and J29s One issue is that the J 45 has been sitting in a case for many years and has been played ever practically should I be concerned about hidden defects because it has not been adjusted or if it’s in a good case there is a case is it protected I’m having trouble finding an answer on Google thanks a lot

Hello I am a 57-year-old man who decided to to focus everything I can on making a living with a guitar. I started playing when I was 15 but I never really got to experience the zone. I discovered even at this late age I can dramatically improve my plane so I decided to buy a nice acoustic guitar I’m considering a 1966J 45 minute all original versus a 2013 J29. Does anybody have any opinions on this I do appreciate you allowing people to come on this forum I hope to be on here a lot
