2016 Gibson J45 custom maple burst.

[philmcg]

I Decided to sell my 2 Gypsy Jazz guitars (David Hodson & Steve Toon )and leave all that to Hank, Lol which funded this new arrival today.

It’s always exciting when you buy a new guitar so I made this short video to show the arrival of my Gibson J45 Maple burst. It was made in the Custom shop of Gibson’s acoustic factory in Bozeman Montana.
It’s limited to a production of 75 and there weren’t any in the UK so I purchased it from Thomann in Germany who got it to me in 3 days. (very impressed with them)
It sounds wonderful and I hope to demo it soon. Has the LR Baggs transducer and preamp which is handy.

Cheers Phil

Hi Phil
What a lovely looking guitar I hope you are pleased with it.
If it sounds as good as it looks we are all in for a treat.

Looking forward to the next video now.
Well done.

Hi Phil,

Congrats on your latest addition, it looks a beauty. Shame you got rid of the Gypsy Jazz guitars, I guess you just ran out of wall on the acoustic side of the room Looking forward to hearing it.


Kind regards,


Chris

Thanks Alan and Chris for your replies. The J45 is known as the workhorse and is the most popular selling Gibson acoustic of all time. There are so many variations but I'm very pleased with the one I chose.
Chris the Gypsy jazz guitars I used to play when I first bought them but I don't play that style properly and they just sit in their cases or take up wall space so time for a change.:-)

All the best... Phil
