Hello High Plains! At the homecoming in Bozeman I played a J-45 TV off the wall at Music Villa. If I didn't already own one, that guitar would have followed me home. Keep up the playing (its a hoot!) and save yer nickels - there's plenty of nice J-45s still being built, perhaps one will have your name on it.

That guitar really records well. Difficult song to keep that tempo and picking going - wonderful performance.

Jason, Norman, Brian - Howdy! Post some pictures when you feel so inclined http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/11005-sticky-how-to-post-photos/ Love to see 'em, and hear all the stories. Welcome aboard gentlemen. Interesting and diverse discussions around here.

CBA - sounds like a gallant quest - Good Luck !

welcome Reb ! Those re-issue RW Banner SJs are rumored to be rather rare. I'll bet it is magnificent !

Like 'em all, but if they were metered, the J-45 sees the most playing time.

Southern Son - Nice sunbursts ! Welcome to the coolest forum on the web !

I am not a collector, I am a player. In today's world I suppose a decision is made somewhere in a guitars life, that it is a "player" and not a colletable. If I was in the market for a Vintage player, it would be important to me that the instrument is solid, and that as much as possible has period correct appointments = bridge, tuners, headstock & frets. The last thing on my list would be a top refininsh, not at all desired. There is a 40;s J-45 that has sat on a dealer's shelf for more than a year now that is a helluva player, but the refinish is not done well, and so it sits.

Em7 - delightful.

Thanks for the Intro there 99 ! Is your whole house upside down? Lot of J-45 love in this group so for sure you're in a friendly place.

Amazing work! Hats off to you on breathing new life into that guitar.

Riv - that's cool looking black, glad you found it, eh? AP - I like your stable!

Nice work on that skinny lil' neck !

Cool number - loved the harp!

At 4 minutes - sure sounds like a second voice - must be magic. This is a very good song.

Magnificant ! Stunning guitar work. Did you use the J-200 for this song? It does not matter, whichever guiar it was it sounds superb. Nice voice - loved the overlay of the second voice - I wish I knew your language, this sounds like a terrific song.

Nice! Lay down a rythm track and just have at it. Fun!

Ann - take a look at this, it will help you post more photos. http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/11005-sticky-how-to-post-photos/

Here ya go.

your nephew has a helluva nice voice ! the J45 shines brightly - nice playing, nice song.

Nice ! I wish my fingers could stretch like that. Good style JK.

I would never hike Pearl Pass - so, I'll try for a Friday night sometime this summer, and come loaded... with guitars.

Ethan - sounds like you've found a great circle! If I had any mountainman in me I'd strap my J45 to my back and hike the 10 miles to jam with you, but mebee this summer I can drive the loop with a flyrod and a gitbox, and play some of your stuff! Welcome to the forum !

DeeJaid - that is one splendid looking beast.

Hey Drew ! You'll find a good deal of SJ love here. Your uncle must be a helleva good guy !
