Congrats on your new Taylor Grand Concert Anne. The GC is my favorite size, so comfortable. Love my Taylor AD22e mahogany grand concert. Hope yours is great for you.

Thanks for this Roger. Was not familiar with it, good tune. Good performance too.

Congrats on the J45 dman.

Whoa Dave! That is freaking gorgeous. Would love to hear what that beaut sounds like. Enjoy.

Really enjoyed that Anne. Heartfelt and well delivered. Thank you.

Sorry to hear this zombywoof. Hope you can figure out how to deal with it...

Steve Forbert, Southern Jumbo I believe.

I've been fortunate. Been working at 7-8 gigs a month since Sept. Come summer I'll be doing 3-4 nights a week on the Jersey Shore.

Sweet L-00! Love the dark burst. Congrats and enjoy will66.

I've been gigging the Bose S1 for most of my small room gigs, it's great. If I need more power, I'll use a Fishman Artist. If it's a large room or outdoors, I'll break out 2 JBL EON610s and small Yamaha mixer.

First, congrats on your new American Eagle! It's a beaut. Personally, I'd go with the simple teardrop.

I guess I've been lucky with Sweetwater, nothing but great service.

Nice job on this EC classic Buc.

A Cortez would be cool too.

Yeah Bruce, but you already have your dread IBG 🙂

Good points Jeff. I guess if Epi was to do an "Inspired By" they probably would do the 00. An aside, my Gibson G-00 has solid walnut back & sides. Thanks again for your thoughts. -Joe

Thanks for your thoughts Jeff. I thought the LG2 would be a little more J45 ish than the L00. Doesn't the LG2 have a deeper body than the 00? Along with the slightly bigger upper bout... I never been able to play them back to back, nobody has both in stock. I have a G-00, which I like, but it's really lives in the mid range and trebles. I thought the LG2 would have bass than the G-00...

Oh man, that sucks, sorry...

I for one would. Ive read nothing but good things about the Inspired by J45. I so wish Epi would do an LG-2 . The real deal is out my financial range and the used ones, if you could find one, are not much cheaper.

Congrats on your J45!

Murph, it looks like real ebony to me. https://grotro.com/product/mini-size-ebony-replacement-button/

Well all the replacement Grover buttons (that I could find) are ebony and large sized, didn't want those. The Hipshot buttons are nice (and cream like I wanted) but out of stock everywhere. So went on Amazon and tried these https://www.amazon.com/BQLZR-Plastic-Machine-Buttons-Electric/dp/B019SWTEAW for under $10 that will do until the Hipshots are back in stock. Def better looking than the chrome buttons. 3 of them fit perfectly, 3 needed a little widening. I used the original hardware.

Congrats on your retirement Murph! Enjoy

Thanks for helping with some legwork SgtPepper, Dave F and kwlsky

I think I've checked Allparts, but wasn't sure if any Grover button would work, gonna check them again. Didn't check Hipshot...thnx Sal.
