We have a couple of singing engagements this week leading up to Christmas.
It's going to be a very cold week around here with ice and snow expected by weeks end.
So I thought it might be a good time to leave the Gibson J-45 at home.
I have really been working the 45 hard this year in hopes that the tone would mature to the next level.
I got out the two that normally take its place. And we where just not happy with either of them over the 45. To the point that the Gibson will just have to go with us.
This is a first. I often prefer the more bass tone of the Epiphone AJ-45. But in this case she will be doing the singing and the Gibson was just the far better choice.
The J-45 was two years old back on October, it has really come a long way. My only changes from stock where a bone saddle and pins. I bought this guitar mail order during the pandemic, something I just don't do. I don't think this would have been the guitar I would have picked had I played it before buying it. But if I went to a shop today and played it I sure would.
I wonder how valuable new guitar reviews really are. I'm hoping by the five year mark I wont even want to pick up another guitar.
I also know how fickle I can be, the other are not going anywhere, yet...
)- taking any of my guitars out in it ain't gonna happen- except, my Telecaster- mile stone no.2... I've been playing it today and think I've got somewhat of a handle on the sound I like from my Loud Box Mini- I told my family I'm beginning another chapter in this short story-
