Mr.Woody Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 Oh, also for anyone curious about Crowder, here's "Ray" his SJ. It's looking more and more beat up 🙂  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 John Hiatt I think played one the two times I saw him. How many of you guys got one of these.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 4 hours ago, Sgt. Pepper said: Not sure what this is or if its a Gibson. He usually has a Martin. I think Jackson Browne uses a J-45's. Saw him once and I can't remember what he played other than the piano.  3 hours ago, Al Pike said: Paul played a Guild F30. Not sure what the black guitar is. Simon went black Yamaha for a while - this may be one of them. Another heavy slope player would be the late great John Renbourn. He starts his rosewood saddled J-50 at 2:26.                                                                                                   And the master is in top^sounding^top^form.                                       Don't overlook the chat between the 2 pieces of which especially #2 is stellar.  Not unusual to switch tuners back then. The original white ovals weren't considered anything special and many believed other brands held pitch better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mime Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 20 hours ago, Mr.Woody said: I know the J-45 is ubiquitous, but I didn't become a real Gibson fan until 3 years ago, so I'm not familiar with artists who are known for their use of a J-45 acoustic. More specifically, are there well-know artists who ONLY use J-45's and not other model acoustics? For instance, I'm aware that Paul Simon used J-45s for a long time before moving on to something else (Martins?), and James Taylor used his J-50 (close enough) before moving onto Olson. Thanks so much!! Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mime Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Aimee Mann has played J45s pretty much exclusively since around 2000. Â She had previously played an old J160 that the airlines wrecked. Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard McCoy Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) The easier question to ask would probably be which artist had not played a J-45 in his career yet. Probably not very many. Edited March 8, 2021 by Leonard McCoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not very many. I think the ones that never owned one, or borrowed one, or the ones that recorded in a studio that didn't have one. Probably a longer list than you think. I don't think Zappa ever used one. Edited March 8, 2021 by Sgt. Pepper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the uninvited to the party, punch bowl turd hurler that I am, I posted a long list of artists who only used Martin guitars over their careers. It was long and distinguished. Mr. McCoy is kidding himself. RBSinTo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunningham26 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Pete Yorn has really only played slope gibsons- mostly a j45 but sometimes a dove https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff_NndhJLJg  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those here who still do not get your humor, sarcasm and history - You should have included a footnote disclosing the fact you originally appeared here as "FZfan".   Thought you'd also mentioned you had a room in your house filled with a hoard of FZ memorabilia, and been to more of his concerts than he had.   And then there's your strange affliction.... I mean affection for Martin acoustics.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guilty as charged. I think it is common knowledge among the guys who have been here a while who I was and now am. I've been here since 2012 or 13. I saw Frank 3 times and Dweez twice. I have his albums and CD's. All the good stuff is tucked away in The Vault that I don't have to keys to. Joe Travers is the vaultmeister. The " been to more of his concerts than he had" line is f-in funny. Edited March 9, 2021 by Sgt. Pepper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Can someone post the apparent short list of people who didn't use a J-45, since it is apparently not to long and we can close this sucker out. I mentioned one guy who didn't, so there may only be 5 or 6 we need to add and its a wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
