jooonnn Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 This might be a dumb question but I was just wondering if J-45 MC's only came in short scale. I have 2007 and have never thought if it were a short or a long scale. I know the AJ's come in both but I was wondering if someone could shed some light upon my uncertainty. On a side note as well, has anyone played a SCGC Vintage Southerner? i saw a link on youtube. There's not a single dealer in my state according to the scgc site but i was wondering if anyone could tell me about their experiences with it. Thanks! jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefleppard Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 i played one in toronto recently and found it to be a bit brighter than the j-45 though i do not know if the specs compare. they are well made, beautiful guitars but, with a boutique price. this one was several hundred dollars more than the gibson j-45mc. was it worth it? that's up to the listener/owner/buyer. this guitar is beautiful in every way but i would have gone with the gibson myself - for i found the differences to be negligable. that guy in the vid is a great player, though.

Rambler Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Short scale. Gibson has made short runs of a l/s hog slope but never a production model. Re SCGC, its what you'd get if you took the basic specs of a factory guitar and built it in a small shop with TLC: best aspects of the breed but maybe not as funky as the original. For that price point, Id look into a Kevin Kopp or John Walker. They both worked in Bozeman and have more of a Gibson aesthetic. All are more of an instrument than the MC, which is really an A/E model- it isnt going to be as lush. A mid point between the 2 is Gibson's TV line.
