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?
