Thanks ๐
Ive owned some Taylor's, LARRIVEE's, a Martin D-18, two Boucher Dreadnoughts so in comparison there was no way the first two J-45s were acceptable as NEW guitars.
This was my last attempt (strike 3 you are out ) I would have asked for a full refund if it didn't work out.
I can say this one now in hand is excellent! ๐
BUT if I had the extra cash that Historic J-45 based off the the 1942 was outstanding , not cheap, $6799 Canadian! https://www.long-mcquade.com/166080/Guitars/Acoustic-Guitars/Gibson/1942-Banner-J-45---Vintage-Sunburst.htm
