Howdy all, My very first guitar was a 59 or 60 Les Paul JR Double Cutaway. I have owned a bunch of guitars since that first one and really wish I had it back. When I retired my team bought me a 2011 LP JR for my retirement present. I have always been a Gibson fan but for some reason never owned any Gibson acoustics, that is about to change, I hope. I put a deposit to hold a J-45 at a local shop today and tomorrow afternoon I am going to check it out and hopefully bring it home. The J-45 is one of my bucket list guitars if this works out well I will be on the search for a J-200 next.
