    2018 J45 Stinks of tobacco

    in Gibson Acoustic

    Posted · Edited by Janglemore

    I had a guitar that had a strong perfume odor when I got it. The smell came from the area that has the most contact with the player - the bass side of the lower bout. The case smelled strongly in the same area too. I tried wiping the guitar with naphtha. I tried baking soda. I tried ground coffee. I tried airing out the guitar and case outdoors. After three years, the smell was less than when I first got the guitar. But it was definitely still there.  Very happily, I ended up trading that guitar for my current favorite player.

    In several of the posts above, an ozone generator was suggested. That seems to be the tactic most people recommend when reading threads on this topic. It would have been my next step had I kept the guitar.

    Mods just delete. This forum sucks. 

    Well this thread sure took a turn toward sour.

    On a positive note, I was playing my 2015 J-35 just last night and thinking man this thing kicks a$$. Absolutely love mine.

    Hello BK3x7,

    The forum works fine for me on my iPad. I’m not a tech wiz but here are some suggestions in escalating order…..

    1) log out of the forum and then log back in

    2) turn off your iPad, let rest w power off for a few minutes and then reboot

    3) update iOS - 16.4.1 is most current (I’m still running 15.6 and I’m having no problems)

    4) delete cookies in Safari - Gibson website will forget you and you’ll need to re-establish yourself on forum  (Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data - then put “Gibson’ in search bar to find Gibson cookie(s) - tap/hold cookie entry and swipe left - reveals delete option) 

    For Sale: Gibson Dove

    If you don’t mind me asking, how did you end up with the Dove?  Did you meet him in Denver or was it a long distance deal with him shipping it out to you in Mississippi?

    It’s a nice guitar if you can make peace with the neck width.  I looked in my notes and it measured 1.74” at the nut - pretty standard Bozeman. Good luck with your sale.

    I acquired the Dove in 2018 off Reverb from a guy in Atlanta. I liked the guitar. It could sound really good sometimes but I never really connected with it. I traded it to guy in Denver in January along with a J-185 for a J-50.
