Mr. Paul Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I understand that to get ones ticket punched here, a video is suggested. Well, alrighty then B) When I retired, I sold some nice guitars, one of which was a J45 standard, 2006 or so. After 5 years of having one nice guitar I got bit by the bug last February and spent 2016 restocking. In August I road tripped to Alburquerque, 350 miles one way, to check out a '46 J45 and it came back home with me. Nifty Gibson Fire Burst b-2 by Westcliffe Slim, on Flickr 1946 Gibson J45 by Paul Leach, on Flickr Here is one I recorded this afternoon. I'm mostly a fingerpicker, using Alaska picks and various thumbpicks. The song is 80 Acres, written by Tim Grimm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_R5MI3jsH4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Welcome, Mr. Paul...isn't that one gorgeous-looking and sounding guitar. I won't say anything more and will let those who know a ton more than I do about guitars exclaim about it. Very nice singing too. I like your and clear and honest vocal delivery. Very well-suited for this story-telling song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Nice song, well performed, and a wonderful guitar. Looks to be in beautiful condition too! 1946 is my absolute favorite year for the J-45. It was worth the drive for that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Nice. And what a nice recording to wind down a day with. Beautiful guitar. The ’46’s have as much of a mystique about them as do the Banners; former Gibson workers were returning from the war, building guitars again, and things were looking up. A fine song, and a good sounding J-45. Welcome in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
