j45nick Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Incredible talent in that group. Sara Watkins is also a good fiddle player. Sean Watkins and Chris Thiele both have really good bluegrass voices, and Chris may literally be the best mandolin player in the world right now, playing everything from Bach to bluegrass. Sean's old J-45 (about 1950) is giving Willie's Trigger a run for the money. The hole in the top just gets bigger and bigger. Hard to believe how young they are, given how long they've been together. They were practically children when they started out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read that somewhere - don't know where. Would love to trip across a decent early 50s J-45 at a yard sale for $50 someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hall Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 ^ That would be nice. My neighbor has an early 50ies J-45. I've been trying to get him to let go of it for the past 30 years. No dice. I get to play it every so often and it sure sounds good even from behind it. steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know some history of it and how long he's owned it. He's a great player for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
