Hi, years of not buying Gibson due to a luthier telling me to stay aware due to workmanship issues.
I’m now 56 played Geetar since I was 14 and never owned one until now.
a beautiful J45 in heritage burst, low action nice easy to play neck. Just lovely custom shop jobby.
So to a question for you all. Do I keep the adjustable bridge. To me it’s a good guitar but the sound to my ears is a tad metallic and sustain is clipped.
I love the guitar but feel it bud a bit lacking in volume also.
Is it worth me inserting a rosewood and bone effort? I love the sound of classic j45s but over here in the uk to try and find the finish of the heritage burst or similar is near on impossible. Hummingbirds are a 1k increase. They sound to have more treble cut to my ears.
has anyone removed the Adj bridge and been blown away by the tone or am I wasting my time. I’m not saying the tone is crap with the adj bridge just different.
any advice welcome.
Thankyou
