MissouriPicker Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I've rarely spoken of my Koa AJ and it gets used as much as any of my guitars. Here's some pics I took today and a video I recorded yesterday. Believe it or not, I think these might be the first pics I've ever taken with a cell phone...lol...had one for years.. Recorded the same song on my J29 a couple weeks back, but surprisingly I think the song sounds more gentle on this guitar... Short scale. A real easy player. Don't know who set it up, but they definitely had me in mind. Great sound, especially for almost always just using my bare fingers. A fingerpicker's dream if you're so inclined. Recorded straight into the little mic on a LifeCam... http://s1289.photobucket.com/user/missouripicker/media/20160112_160205_001_zpsywzes4qw.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2 http://s1289.photobucket.com/user/missouripicker/media/20160112_160223_001_zps1viopn78.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1 http://s1289.photobucket.com/user/missouripicker/media/20160112_160326_001_zps3oyu1thn.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duluthdan Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Oh lordy, I need a dog. Nice sweet and soft - nice little song here - American Folk. That AJ is Short Scale ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneS Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 That geetar sounds as sweet as can be. Dang... I thought AJs are long-scaled...otherwise, what distinguishes a hog AJ from a hog J45/50/35? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 . What a beautiful AJ. Love the burst color with the gorgeous Koa. Very sweet sounding on the fingerpick too. With that vid you've rounded out quite the viewing for me today - thanks MP. . B) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yeah, it's short scale. A run made for Sweetwater in 2011. I think Musicians Friend had runs of literally the same guitar two years after Sweetwater. From what I've read, the bracing is different from the J45. X bracing for both, but the AJ bracing is angled differently and is thinner and the nut is right at 1 3/4. A little bit more than the J45. Beyond that, I imagine lots of things are the same as with the other jumbo models. It gets a lot of comments too. Nice guitar to hide behind.
