J185-4Me Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I've heard about this one for a little while, never seen any examples of it though: The John Hiatt model J-45. That particular one is at Dave's Guitar, in lovely LaCrosse Wisconsin. Very nice, with that teardrop firestripe pickguard and the triburst finish. Simple, plain, elegant, and with the UST, all ready to go to the stage. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KL Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'm not wild about Tiger Stripe pickguards, but I wouldn't say no if someone gave me that guitar! Perfectly Good Guitar is my favourite John Hiatt album too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenumber2 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Man, that is one pretty guitar. I love the firestripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Lawton Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I've got to say - that is a looker. The firestripe pguard is one of the cosmetic touches that originally drew me to Gibsons - they are very sharp. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhanners623 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 After all the crap I heaved at Gibson over the Aaron Lewis guitar, I will say they did it right with this one. Not only is Hiatt one of the greatest songwriters of our era, he's been a Gibson Guy for a long time (even drops a model name or two in his songs) and this is one FINE-looking guitar. Were I in the market for a guitar, I'd be tempted.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjl200 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Wow it looks a lot like my new custom Shop J-45... except for the pick guard. I went for the sixties vibe..... No signature except mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a SJ200. In fact I still have a picture of it in my documents :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajsc Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Why didn't Gibson just have him sign a Standard model, since that's what he plays? I like this guitar too, but,,,,it's not what he plays!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
