theevdawg Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 JUST NEED TO NOTE ONE THING ABOUT THE NEW "NORTHERN JUMBO" It is NOT a Mapleburst J45 with Canadian decal on the back of the headstock. Even though L&M did do a run of those Canadiana'd Maplebursts recently, this new Northern Jumbo is a new and way wayyy better guitar. I played one yesterday at my local L&M and it is indeed a custom shop. Specs off the top of my head were: - Red Spruce (adi) top / really really nice straight grain - Dark 30's style sunburst - Rosewood back and sides - some kind of LR Baggs system - Custom Shop logo on back of headstock It barked like any slope shoulder rosewood should. The neck was a bit too small for my liking. Maybe to liken it to a AJ? I own a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe, huge neck, but all in all it was an excellent guitar. The only things I didn't enjoy were the horrid grover tuners and the lack of block inlay on the board. Feel silly for not thinking to take photos :/ Hope this helps!

GreenDay20 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 How did this thread re-surface ? , I googled Gibson Northern J-45 , this is what appeared as a result of the search. Why ? , Long & McQuade has another run of 65 , limited edition , Northern J-45 's . I bought one and wanted to find / print a spec sheet. Anyone in the know on specs / , species of wood used ? , electronics ? Hi There; Just bought myself a J-45 Northern (Limited Edition) The top is a beautiful Adirondack Red Spruce top, East Indian Rosewood b/s with a mahogany neck and rosewood finger board and nickel plated machine heads. A truely beautiful sounding acoustic guitar. May you have many happy years of playing. Greenday20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderful remark Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I went to a local L&M store and played a Northen J45. I've never been a fan of RW J45's but this one had to be one of the best guitars I've ever played. If the price tag didn't push $3k after taxes, I would've brought it home...
