Naptha/lighter fluid works for me every time.

I like the tone produced by the standard's regular sitka top.

D'A pb lights..

Is the top bracing in this guitar the same as a regular J-45 or is it the wider angle AJ style?

+1 on Holter. I have several of his guards, they look perfect, very vintage.

I had a whole collection of them about 20 years ago. Decided to not be a part of the death of tortoises so sold the lot. Today I use real celluloid picks (heavy) and they work just fine for me.

Don't care for the shape.

I have his guards on several of my guitars. Just beautiful.

I wouldn't go there.

Hog by a hair.

I recently bought a new J-45 from my local GC. Perfect in every way. Sorry you're having issues.

Well done! Now I'm kinda sad.

OK by me. Tell us whatcha got.

Me too! There, that's three. How about it, Gibson?

Thanks! Will have to check that one out.

I'm 77. I've owned literally 100s of guitars since the early '60s. Have a dozen now. Just not hungry these days.

Love to hear this one. My all hog WL-12mh is a terrific sounding L-00 (shape) guitar. I'll bet this Gibson sounds just as good, if not better.

OMG! How sad.

Grab it and run!

That sounded very good indeed.

I love the J-45/50. Played that model for years, still have a 45.

Always thought he possessed the best voice in folk music.

Thanks, Boyd. Just what I wanted to know. Much obliged. Ce.

Right. I'm taking off the Grovers and replacing them with Klusons, old style, white buttons. I've seen Klusons at Stu-Mac and other places, so I know they're around. I guess what I was asking was if anyone knew of any Klusons that were a better fit than others, since the J-45 head is drilled out for the slightly larger Grover tuner shaft.

Anyone have a line on replacing Grovers with vintage looking Klusons. Any particular brand an easy drop in replacement? Thanks, Ce.
