E-minor7 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Had I only one J-45 this hollow plastic bridged ceramic saddled oldie wouldn't be it. However I like the guitar a lot and it has a splendid alternative softer sonic mood to offer - full of atmosphere and soul. 1963 ~ Worth noting that I carved 4 nuts in different materials for wider spacing - and learned how different they sound. Finally got hold of the right nylon-blank-block which it works best. The bone saddle it came with is louder, , , but the original white clay is it. And !!!! , , , both under-top nuts and washers plus the metal-spring under the saddle are kept where they were born. I believe the mass/weight add core to the else very light creature. It's true identity is found in the middle of all these factors, , , with slightly faded Bronze or ph. ditto steel. (said most of this before, but as mentioned it's just a test - and the little tale can bear a re-run.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Interesting that you went with a nylon nut, which was probably the original material. I kept the nylon nut on my recent 1950 J-45. What year is this one, and what is the nut width? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Is there a Dove hovering above perhaps? 😀 Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The width is the attractive 11/16. 38 minutes ago, Lars68 said: Is there a Dove hovering above perhaps? 😀 Hehe, , there is - it's more or less always there. But the Birds are still played more often than the maple fliers here, , , and the 45s for that matter.

E-minor7 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 I won't be the one to complain. Still it seems all past photos are gone - quite a loss for the Board. On this pc the quotation-boxes are ppzzzzt too. All in all it looks pretty chaotic back there. That's life, , , apparently. But it feels like modernizing the museum did cost a serious part of the artifacts. Well, , , at least we have the threads and words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, a lot of them were gone already - perhaps due the fatal Bucket-change - but we had loads of pure photo-gold behind us. TONS ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
