Congratulations, I'm glad it's turned out well for you, I had a small double-take when I seen the picture, you are the absolute spitting-image of my uncle Jimmy.

 

Enjoy the new guitar.

 

Your really youthful & good looking Uncle Jimmy I hope? ;-)

Killer looks! How 'bout the sound?

 

Initial tests are clearly positive. I was hoping for a similar sound to my lovely J-45 & am not disappointed so far. Just as loud & well balanced with that unique Gibson slope tone.

Not sure about the Gibson strings though, they feel a little "sticky" to me - is that because I'm used to Elixirs? Probably change them this weekend.

I'm finding the scale (short vs long on my HD-28) & nut (1.725 vs 1.6875 on my J-45) combination to be a winner & just what I was after for my flatpicking.

So, with all this plus killer looks, she's a keeper for sure.....
