Lefty Guy Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 if u win the j45 will u give it to me ? Depends on whether they'll swap it for a lefty for me or not :-) Actually I'd probably give it to my 15 year old son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Guy Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Well, this was a fun event, especially for righties. A whole room, wall to wall (+ part of the ceiling too) tasty Gibson acoustics, new & vintage, but there were half a dozen or so nice lefties too. 'twas my first visit to Guitar Village & I was impressed with the shop, the stock & the staff. There was a Gibson Montana director there too who I had a quick chat to re their lefty uplift policy (CEO doesn't allow him to produce lefties to stock) & a nice youg rep from Gibson Europe. I played a lovely sunburst J-45 Custom (the rosewood b/s model), a Honeyburst Hummingbird standard & a Blues King. They had several J-45s & a couple of J-200s also which I didn't try. I think I'm as confused as i was when I went in. I like both the J-45 Custom & the 'Bird but to my ears neither were a real improvement over my old J-45 Historic yet would necessitate trading this faithful old beast & adding more than £1k on top to acquire. The Blues King was kinda cute but a little too boxy for me compared to my little Moon. I'd liked to have tried a Hummingbird TV but as all lefties are custom orders (according to Mr Gibson director) they're pretty rare over here. I liked the look of Natural J-45 Custom but it was a righty...... If I win the righty cherry burst 60s style J-45 ni their free draw I'll let you all know :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
