Gotta say, nothing special. Firstly, too much talk with the good Rabii Johns and in the second clip it sounded very brigth, with little warmth, didnt move me.

 

Gibson, getter a better demo guy who will play some cowboy chords like the rest of the world ..... yes, Ive had a couple. <_<

edit : For Nick a J 45 double custom :

 

 

I actually love Robi's playing style, and this J-45 custom is a great-sounding guitar.

 

It's given me a new idea of how to represent my old J-45:

 

"1948-1950 J-45 custom. Honduras back and sides. Brazilian fretboard and bridge. L-5 style headstock inlaid with abalone script Gibson logo and abalone flowerpot. Headstock bound with alternating layers of ivory/ebony/ivory/ebony/ivory.

 

Custom abalone fretboard inlays in unique design. Bone nut, saddle, and custom Colosi vintage bone pins. Abalone-inlaid bone endpin. One owner for the last 45 years."

 

Makes it sound like a million bucks, doesn't it? [biggrin]

 

(Seriously, I think those are both gorgeous guitars.)

I actually thought it sounded promising. And mister J. played a bit harder than the J-45 something test we had up recently. You can hear the guitar is still factory-stiff, but given time I believe this could be an amazing acoustic. Not for my herd, , , but met in room first time you go home with a woman f.x. How exotic it would be to pick it up in situation like that and play her a tune – for then to get one back of course.

 

The other Koa had - as we see - spruce top and k-sides. Sounded very rich, almost too fat in the clip. Big guitar though and it would be good to A/B those 2. A bit conventional here, I might settle for the spruce topped, , , then again a surprise reaction could be thrilling.

 

Nick – admit I had a clean giggle when I saw you relaunch the psychedelic 45 (then again wasn't it about time).

Is it newly taken pics or some of those seen before. Naturally I liked both the green snake, the silent clay bell and the yellow leaves, which especially in shot 1 blends fine with the hue of your burst. The real trippy thing tho, is the shoulders in the shoulders. . . .
