Tman Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I love my LP made 2 measure. I asked John at Instrumental music if they would do an acoustic. He said absolutely, "I know the guy to talk to, what do you want?" I want a maple J-45 with 5 star quilted maple. Open faced tuners and I want to be natural, like the AJ (he had in the store a few years ago). I put in the order and it came it today! Look at that back! Also asked for a distinctive headstock inlay which they let me choose. Finally a new type of case I haven't seen before. Phenomenal all around. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedzep Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Wow! That's a stunner! Good on you, Tman! I've got to find a YT vid that samples what a guitar like that would sound like. Maybe pull that guard, though. Sorry, it's like a plastic purse hanging on a supermodel. Guess I'll just never get used to those firestripes.

fortyearspickn Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Outstanding! You have nailed the age old question "If you could only have one guitar on a deserted island?" I'm pretty sure if you take that out into the sun - the back will become translucent and iridescent. Make you want to cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 That is a beauty! I’d love to hear the Maple Sound. Congrats & enjoy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the maple all snappy and bright? Derailing is good, To paraphrase John Hiatt, kinda like they thought about it. The Maple is snappy and bright and it really projects with a resonant bass like a J-200 (really sounds like I know what I'm talking about). I played it all last night. I'm over the moon. 3 hours ago, IanHenry said: Wow, just awesome 😀 Thanks Ian, love the J-45 and this one is really unique 3 hours ago, jedzep said: Wow! That's a stunner! Good on you, Tman!

Guess I'll just never get used to those firestripes. Funny story about that. There were 3 to choose from, this one, tortoise, and black. My wife loves Jackson Brown and I really loved the AJ Maple that I played (except I wanted everything that the J-45 was). Et Voila. Now that you said that though it's hard to unsee the visual. Maybe even a glitter plastic. Oh well I'm still in the in love phase. 2 hours ago, kidblast said: That's a beauty Tman, the figuring on the back of that guitar is a sight to behold. Congrats!

I'm going to make a comparison video between a mahogany and this one. I think there is a big difference, hopefully it'll project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
