dxn2 Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hello everyone. Perpetual beginner here. Have had a Martin knock off for years that I would pick up from time to time but never to the point that I could actually play. Same 6 chords that that I had trouble changing between. A month or so ago I started with an online course. Decided to stick to one (I tend to wander) and work through it. Wouldn't you know, I am making sounds that almost resemble music. Birthday coming up in a few days (55). Have lusted after a J45 for years. Couldn't justify the price vs. my level of play (really wanted Mahogany though). Was all ready to order a J15 instead and decided to go test drive a few at the local GC. Turns out my 3 shoulder surgeries made the J15 a poor option. My RT shoulder just wasn't having it. Picked up a L-00 which suited me a bit better comfort wise. Something about it just didn't work for me though. Went home and started researching options. Short story long - I found a new 2018 LG2AE online, negotiated a fair price, and rolled the dice. Satisfies the Mahogany craving in a smaller package. Should be here in a couple of days. Just wanted to say hi. Looking forward to the journey. Any and all tips, tricks, and recommendations are welcome. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Welcome Don, be sure to put up a NGD post with pictures when you get it on the Acoustic forum. The guys over there have a wealth of Gibson acoustic knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
