    Just found you, Jeremy, love your message, and your video content and quality is superb. Very new player at age 52, and so happy I found guitar. Practicing hard while I save up to upgrade from my Epiphone Pro-1 I found “in the wild”. Looking forward to your 2021 vids. Stay safe out there.

    J45 Vintage was one of the best guitars I've ever played. Still remember it in the shop, would have bought it if I hadn't bought a D28 a few weeks prior. The difference between a standard and a vintage is astonishing.

    That is what a lot of manufacturers are doing with these vintage guitars. They look right but they have a very new feel for playability. Like you said, that is what people want.

  • @scottrill17
    @scottrill17 Před 3 lety

    I have never been a fan of sunburst finishes but they are growing on me, especially when they leave the back and sides as wood grain. I love to see the grain! I recently watched another video that described the difference between slope shoulders such as the J-45 and square shoulders, such as the D-18. Is there that much difference? I also lead worship, but am not sure it would make that much difference.

    Sounds great! Congrats to Gabe the new owner. I mentioned this on your live stream last week, I was really hoping to buy it from you and was waiting for you to announce when it was officially up for sale. 😁 But it sounds like it's going to a really great home so congrats again!! I'm still on the search for a Southern Jumbo... So if anyone has one up for grabs... (Preferably a newer SJ) 🤘

    I want a J 45 so badly. I play at my church as well. I have a Taylor 2016 814cesb that I use and love but I want a J 45 badly. I’m right down the road from you btw in Pulaski Virginia. Maybe not right down the road but not to far. I really enjoy your channel. Have you been to Fret Mill or Kelly’s Music in Roanoke? Great shops! If you are ever down this way check them out.

      Start setting money aside and get one. Short of a boutique version, there's really nothing like that slope shoulder, spruce over mahogany sound. I do not think that you'll like the stock pickup though if you plug into an AMP or FoH. They're really much better through a mic. I swapped mine for a Baggs Lyric and that seems to be a decent workaround.

  • @texhaines9957
    @texhaines9957 Před 3 lety +2

    Nice. If you get a good sounding J45 it's not sounding like a Martin D-18. I have a great J-45. I also have a D-28 but they sound different and are used with different songs.

      The Slim taper just doesn’t feel like it belongs on a J45. Same as the Martin MLO

      @@andrewhumphrey1047 It seems to be the trend, doesn't it? I don't know that Martin is building dreadnought with a ModV neck outside of the Authentics, these days. At least Gibson is offering all their models with various necks at various series.

      @@andrewhumphrey1047 With Martin, any spec changes mac it a custom build. Anything through through Custom Shop is going to cost $$$. I am not sure about the Gibson CS. I have a 2017 Gibson J35 Vintage Collector's Edition that has a 1.77" nut and a very full carve, which they call "Round", but it is much deeper than the Standard Series "Round" profiles.

    Hopefully your saddle was still adequate if you got a set up with the nut.
    I know Gibson bridges are thick, but who wants to shave a bridge down on an expensive guitar and gamble with it's value?
