I dont think you can buy direct from Gibson Bozeman. Talk to Gibson Bozeman , they may direct you to a dealer.

There are alot of really nice guitars out there. I guess you would have to go into a guitar store. Try a few of those. I guess feel and sound would be first. Then a price range that you can afford. the quality of the guitar is important . it has to last and meet your expectations . Do not be in a rush to decide. Guitars are on the walls for you to see the differences as well. Dont get caught up in a salesmens pitch . Or fast hurry up and make a decision. we are here as a group if you get overwelmed in looking at to many.

Randy Bachman's collection of Guitars was on display here in the city. The 59 was a reissue on display, I can understand why. alot of the Guitars are Rogers, Hoyers, I think a SJ300. A super 400. Many others.

Mahogany back and sides. It was Normal. I had a few of those. I would price it no differently than a used J45.

I was at his place last Aug He is doing fine. Talked to him last week. I think hes ready for some warm weather. Us up north keep sending him snow. 😁 as for the J50 ya. They did do dark sides with a lighter back. Ive had a few of those.

Reverb did get expensive. I left ebay long ago. There cash grab was way to much.

I wonder at times if My F4 and harp guitar were handled by Orville at some point

Ya. But guild has handcrafted labels as well. On plywood guitars. So I guess there should be no reason for Gibson USA to complain about all those fake les pauls out there someone one was inspired by the US versions. 😁

To be honest. It is a nice looking guitar. Something different but has a good look to it. If I was on the hunt for another acoustic. I would consider one of these.

Wonder what the list is? 4 ish?

L12 archtops were not around for very long. If its in Nice shape. And solid. The price is right. Get it.

I use D addarios on all my acoustics. They work just fine.

I nominate you for a Oscar. 😁

I think Ive maybe had 6 acoustics that required truss rod adjustments .considering the amount of guitars here. Not a bad average. More of the set ups were on the nuts and saddles .

It seems to be a problem on most of the acoustics. I have 4 that have those flopping around inside

It was actually more than that.

The Rose was a Centennial Full size The one model I did not buy. I was to focused on Custom Shop built AJs and SJ200s aside from the 11 Centennial acoustics. Then I did buy a Monarch and a Presentation I tapped out for a couple years after that. 😀

If the J200 is set up properly. The scale short length idea will be forgotten. I have quite a few J200s. They are very easy to play. I dont have a issue with finger picking those either

Nice wall hangers

And the label reads. ?

Yes. Teisco had one. Greco , I thought it might have been Gretsch or Guild had that shape as well.

I have a 1994 Custom shop SJ200 . Its a outstanding guitar. Sound wize. playability,

The Legends are in my opinion. The best in the j45 line . I didnt realize that those had tapered peg heads.

In some cases scale length , more frets, , types of woods used per original examples. , inner bracing sizes. Neck sizes. Body dimensions.

Actually Gibson Bozeman did a pretty good job creating The looks and similar sounds of Gibsons from back in the day. But there are a few things that changed Not just the tapered headstock . As is with most guitar manufactures.
