Desolationrow Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi Gibson guys! I need help of the forum. Actually i have 3 Gibsons:J45,Bird and J200(All standards versions, no money for vintage/true vintage versions). What guitar complements well with these? Other Gibson? A dove, or Aj or L -00 perhaps?A rosewood Martin? i am a strummer, singer songwriter,use the guitar for complement my voice. Thanks for the answers.

gfa Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I wouldn't be so bold as to recommend a particular guitar, since that's like telling someone which flavor of ice cream they should eat. But, I can tell you about why I like my fave flavors. My two "main" guitars are a J-45 Vintage and a Martin HD-28VS. The Martin is a loud 12 fret dread with a big bottom end, nice ringing rosewood, and that Martin tone. Unless I play it with a very light touch - which I am not so good at doing - it's a real "in your face" guitar. They're very different flavors, and I favor one vs. the other depending on the song I'm playing. At home, the guitar I have out definitely has an impact on what I choose to play. When playing out, I take both and choose one over the other depending on the particular song. All that said, it probably makes almost no difference to almost everyone in the world.

mking Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 With your J-45, hummingbird, and J-200, it seems you have mahogany and maple well covered, all with the same tonal coloring. A Rosewood body guitar would be a nice addition. If you want to stay with the slope shoulder Gibson, AJ is the one. You state you are a strummer, so try out the Martin HD-28V. I prefer that over the D-28 or HD-28 because the bracing on the HD-28V is forward shifted. It sounded better to me. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
