  1. I find that any acoustic at any GC is prone to sound dull,lifeless. GC acoustics do not get their strings changed.They do not have knowledgeable people there. I played a few epiphones at sweetwater,and there was a world of difference between there and GC.I needed a good 12 string guitar for outside, for gigs and traveling. Didnt want a piece of crap. And didnt want to risk my guilds F 412 jf65-12 or D4-12. So i settled on an epiphone. An inspired by gibson hummingbird 12 string. One of the nicest sounding easy playing 12 strings ive played in 40 years.My point is not all epiphone guitars are inferior guitars
  2. Haven't been on the site for awhile. I own a 1969 hummingbird 12 string, a 1974 hummingbird 6 string. An 84 J45 standard. A 12 string songwriter.And just recently a faded 50,s j45. Among quite a few guilds,and Collings. My question is has anyone else played a faded 50,s j45?I was pretty skeptical of changes to the J45.But after playing it,I'm of the opinion that it is a bit better sounding than my j45 standard.Its definately lighter.Seems to have longer sustain, and better resonance. I'll attribute that to a lighter finishing process. Any other thoughts?
  3. Hello all, I'm dave aka mclkar.ive been to this site before.But decided to reconnect.I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to play the 50,s faded J 45.Im looking to buy one. Played one , seemed to be a bit more open than my J 45 standard. Any thoughts?
  4. back in 2019 i purchased a new G 45 studio.. just recently ive gone back on the how to decode serial number. i put my serial number in , and am now getting two different dates. one says aug 19 2020, one says aug 19 2019.?? confusing. 22320087
