Gibson J-45 custom

(1/12) > >>

drbassman:
I can score a brand new Gibson J-45, custom guitar (special binding, inlays) for $1695.  Am I crazy if I don't buy it?

Dave W:
That's a great price for a new J-45, and they're still good values at a higher price. I don't think you'll lose money on it if you decide down the road that it's not for you.

OTOH Gibson wouldn't be my first choice.

nofi:
i agree. in that price range you can get a much better instrument. you can only stetch the gibson rep so far and when you get into acoustic guitars i would forget about 'em.

OK, I hear ya.  What might I consider in that price range?  I went to the shop and played a bunch of guitars and after 4 - 5 (each) Guilds and Taylors, I really did prefer the Gibson's sound and feel.

Any recommendations I should consider?  My mind's open right now.

The J45 is a legend. Buy it!
