You're Gonna Make Lonesome When You Go

That is fantastic.  One of my favorite Zimmerman tunes of all time.  If only he could sing it that well.

Nicely played too.  I remember the saga of your SCSJ and was sorry to see it go.  But I think it worked out fine.  That J45 Vintage sounds great!

Thanks, Bozz!  I still miss that SCSJ, but the J45 Vintage is a far better instrument.  I especially love the fat neck on the Vintage.  Wish my SJ200 had a neck like that.

Thanks, Em7.  It has Martin Retro mediums on it.

How long do the Retro’s last for you? I just put 11’s on my J-45, & J-50, so i’m Curious about the longevity of these strings. I like them  so far.

 Honestly, I've had this set on for almost a year.  😬   😂

I love the Retros on my mahogany and maple guitars.  I've used them exclusively for the last 5 years or so, but I wasn't a fan of them on my rosewood OM or a walnut backed dread I used to own.  The Epiphone IBG Hummingbird is the first mahogany guitar I've owned they don't sound good on.

I’v  had the same experience. I’m trying the D’Addario Nickel Bronze, on my only Rosewood guitar. J-45 RW, & so far I like them too. Using Retro’s on my J-200, & Dove.
