Mikey62 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I was hoping to find some in depth reviews but I can't find much. They sure look interesting but do they deliver the goods?? Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fp Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Big sound, even bigger neck. I think it captures the vintage J45 sound better then any other new Gibson's that I've tried. It has a great look. The sunburst is what a sunburst is suppose to look like. The workmanship is top notch. Unfortunately the neck is just too big for me, so it will be on the auction block soon.

Mikey62 Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 I've heard the neck is large and you have confirmed that. I imagine it gets hard to make barre chords up the neck? I would love to see some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinder Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I loved the one I tried. I have big hands, but I liked the big neck just as much as my regular Bird, Dove and SJ200 necks, and even the skinny neck on my B15. I can see why it would be an issue for someone with smaller digits, though. I have lanky sausage fingers! The tone was something else, though. Huge, warm, dry vintage tone. I'd LOVE to own one.

Rambler Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 do they deliver the goods?? Great guitar but kind of a niche item. Dry hog slope sound. Fuller through the tonal spectrum than the standards. Light and responsive (tho not so much as the TVs which are kind of a j45/Aj hybrid). The tone and feel is great for fingerstyle and old timey flatpicking. Maybe not for rock. Not as aggressive tonally and not the easiest grip for bar chords. The mod classic slopes and 'birds would do better for all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
