  1. You should visit a 5 Star dealer and see if your most promising one can be built with the M2M program. If you had one built it may add some credence to your effort. Good Luck!
  2. That 60s J-45 Original for $2199 is tempting
  3. eBay is pretty good at taking care of international shipping.
  4. Your tuners may be gold, just tarnished a little. Colorwise yours looks more like this 2017 model. Hummingbird Vintage (gibson.com)
  5. yours look like the Gotoh ones on this 2016 model. Hummingbird Red Spruce (gibson.com)
  6. Thankfully I'm covered on the big bodies, but I would like to try the Byrdland.
  7. I have a few set up at those specs. I usually adjust to a .000"-.005" neck relief. Two other factors I pay attention to are nut slot depth measuring the string height at the 1st fret and secondly I check for any high frets. One common problem I see in the modern Gibson acoustic guitars is after a truss rod tweak, area around the third fret rises and I have to address that. It's beyond my pay scale to figure that one out, but it's happened more than a few times. I currently have one (J160E) I have to address. As always, I tap down the fret and recheck before leveling it out. Good luck!
  8. Saddle Shim Kits - Guitar Saddles They use ebony strips
  9. Not the first go around for the bone crusher.
  10. If that’s the case, a good luthier should be able to file/sand the ends and touch it up.
  11. J45 Custom Ebony. Gibson did a run of a few standard models in the theme of a Custom Les Paul
  12. Many on the forum get saddles from Bob Colosi General Information - Guitar Saddles I've gotten saddles from him and they are good, but I think too pricey for experimenting. I've always kept a stock of blanks and make them from scratch. I would suggest something like these if it's a drop in saddle.
