There is also a video of that same finish line I have uploaded
https://streamable.com/xiukq2Have you decoded the serial #, or maybe the final inspection checklist date so see just exactly how fresh this guitar is? Also- it would be good to know relative humidity. Or, if you were in the southwestern US. Or high altitude.
You should be ok with that- just watch humidity levels for a while, esp. with such a new lacquer finish. You can have a look inside the guitar with a UV light/lamp. . . it'll give you some information. . . maybe too much information. ; ).

"Work horse" is going to be as opposed to a "show horse", one that looks beautiful but does not do any actual work.

Is it something you throw after certain cars, busses, dozers and fx tools used for everyday purposes in general. We don't really have the term here. .
That said, the first time I ever encountered the workhorse-label it was used about a Martin D-28.
The phrase has probably been in use as long as horses have been used to do work for people:

Very nice playing of the Beatles tune, but the bold move of tackling Kashmir will have you crack a smile:

I’ve had a few of those. Took about 5 months to dry them out.
Much safer than 5 hours in a room heated with a wood stove.
Guitar Center is known for a very gracious (and tempting) return policy, but they're also known for guitars on the rack with some pretty nasty strings. 'Was in one where the hygrometer on the humidifier read somewhere in the upper 60's. It was very stuffy in the small high end room. If that was the case for you, I suppose the other guitars would also be suffering the same fate (?).

Yes the nut has been replaced with a bone nut. The original was in the original case that came with guitar. Not sure about the saddle, I never asked him.
Brain fade on my part- 'was actually wondering if the bridge pins had also been upgraded.

Congrats on the incoming Hummingbird. Is that a slimmer body depth than the Standards? Combined with that barky spruce it's top has, it should project nicely. It also looks like the nut and saddle have been upgraded to bone, horn, or ? ? ?

You need a decoder ring.
Put me down for one of those rings.
I found the '057 Cherryburst Hummingbird on Kijiji. Looks totally legit. Maybe if you put a link to the other 2019 HB you might feel better about it being genuine.

Been looking for this ol girl for a long time now.
And I've been a long time looking for a guitar that has great bass note clarity. Been through lots of guitars, and the J-185 is one of the best at it.

Thanks guys. Can’t wait to see it
uh-oh. I thought you'd already played the guitar. Hopefully, you've got some familiarity with maple guitars, and have an idea of what to expect. The slinky comfort of the J-185 shape is well known, and the vibe/looks are apparent, but aside from being a fine strong rhythm strummer, they're can be a challenge if you want to get some low tone out of them, but it can be done.
-
That’s the case. And that’s a good sign. So, it literally could be a custom True Vintage, what with the special ’burst, abalone rosette, and firestripe guard. And signed.
So far, so good.

Does the label actually say “TV Edition” ?
My ‘07 185 was spec’ed as a True Vintage for the Japanese market, with a serial close to yours, with no mention of True Vintage. My ‘07 J-45 True Vintage also did not have mention of TV on it’s label, in this first year of the True Vintage line. One thing that they all did have was the uber-heavy light brown “Cali girl“ case with the pink lining. they also had no factory onboard electronics.

The ones to the left are Dove roses - the Bird seems a bit off to me. A standard guard perhaps. .
Thanks. That makes sense. Well, at least I had fun looking at other models, including Epiphone, to see what guitar that p/g design went to.
Maybe the Bird guard was modified from Hartford Snyder's design.

That is interesting. Tons of history there. It looked as if there were a few plates made for the Hummingbird, but the ones shown in metal did not have the likeness of a hummingbird on them:

Some days this is my acoustic sound - mean of course soundS, , , as both of them count in this temple. Saturday the 29th of July 2023 is one of those.
The jam starts by >>>>>>> 10:20 >
All in all I regard this a highly important'n' precious video. Due the different natures of the 2 squares, the sonic authenticity and the basic wonderful twi-look - plus the fact that the guys have such a gooood time.
Wow- and it is fun, too. . . At the end, they were laughing, maybe because they can't believe they got that on tape.
With a little help from the person at the eq bringing out some real rumble in that Hummingbird.

I will be at the winter Namm Show and I will ask one of the Gobson's reps about this. I heard through someone that there will be a new Everly Brothers edition coming out. No time frame was given to me. I have a M2M J180 that I received this past June, that I had it spec out with the Everly Brothers guitar spec's. It took me a year of waiting patiently for it, but it was worth the wait. The Bozeman craftsmanship was superb on my guitar.
The Made2Measure option was something I was going to suggest, but you say you've already done that. So why the interest in an official Everly edition? Got a thing about having the official swag, or . . . ?

Second vintage guitar this week that you just popped over to Norman‘s to pick up on a whim?

Congrats on the natural Bird. One good thing about the satin finishes- they don't require as many coats as a gloss finish. . . usually resulting in a lighter guitar that lets the top breathe a little better. And the areas of contact from play wear are true evidence of the guitar actually getting played.
Of course, we'd love to see and hopefully hear a little of your new bird. ; ) .

Oh well, that's Craigslist. Here are some photos of the guitar from it's Reverb listing in the U.K. :

Chief,
Check out the j-45 "Chatty Cathy" or the much older and rarer j-45 " Gabby Hayes" variants, which both have this feature.

So. . . getting back the OP, how often do you change the string on the back of your J-45 CC ?

I like the darker look on the logo. I'd put the tuner on the other side and try to match it.
'Was thinking the same thing- maybe a couple of points across the logo and end up with a reverse sunset burst logo!
But then again, I'm reminded of what my D'Addario mini tuner did above the "s" and the "o" on the J-45 R:

The NL is RW with the deep body and the standard modern neck. Great sound and comfortable. The other L00 is a M2M. Standard depth, RW, aged top, slim taper neck. Great sound and comfortable. . .
"Just curious" 😎- what sort of options were available to you regarding neck profile for your L-00 build through the Made2Measure program?

I had issues with that combination.
Same here, but my Smeckspectations were higher on the deeper bodied (walnut) Jackson Browne model.
In all of the ramblings in my previous post, I don't know if I emphasized that the Stage DeLuxe you were looking at, being deep-bodied, might not project as well as the J-45 models, and that the deeper body of the Stage-D might negate the ergonomics of the 12 fret design.

Yes, had to look at the strings to believe it wasn't butter. Especially the all-hog or koa 000. Good to see several acoustic food groups represented.
The last minute was a bit like some of the groups who had multiple guitars doing the same overlapping leads. Must've been a definite workout on an acoustic.
