jefleppard Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 has anyone ever taken the pickguard (scratchplate!) off one of these and, if yes, noticed a definite change in tone? just curious as there is one up on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Gibson-J-180-Acoustic-Mint-Condition-w-hard-case_W0QQitemZ200271833947QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item200271833947&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWilson Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Cunk-I've never played one of these, but Jeff Hanna of "Nitty Gritty Dirt Band" has one. I'm not positive, but it doesn't appear that his has any pickguards on it. I know it's a J-180 as the first time I saw him play it I emailed his website and one of the ladies that works there emailed me back and told me what it was and that she didn't think Bozeman was making them any more. I think they're great looking guitars. PS- Did I miss you telling about getting rid of your Songwriter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
