Gibson J45

I purchased this guitar 2 weeks ago and loved it right out of the box but I

wanted to play it a while before writing a review just so I wouldnt be so biased

about my brand new guitar. After 2 weeks I have played it every day and I still

LOVE IT!!! This is the best guitar i have ever owned period. Playability, tone,

craftsmanship, its flawless. If you are looking for a guitar that will last a life time,

this is the one to go with. Its nickname says it all. "Workhorse" and thats exactly

what this guitar is. If you are blessed with the funds to buy a guitar of this

caliber, you need to look no further than the Gibson J-45 Custom Rosewood.

Immaculate just about sums it up in every aspect!!

I own many guitars, Guitarsofchina has given me some of the best advice on

guitar purchases .Now, about this gem I just received. I own 4 USA Martin's and many other quality acoustics and electrics.

Love my Martin's, all purchased right here but have been told by so many to give the Gibson Acoustics a chance if I can afford it.

When she arrived my first impression was HOLY $ @**!!!! The fit, finish and quality was flawless!!

I had to wait a few hours to play it as I live in a very cold climate and had to let it warm up.It was love at first strum.

The action was set perfectly, nice deep tone for the lows and crisp clean highs. No offense to my dear Martin herd

but this one is in a league of it's own. I am certain this is my stage guitar and the one that will be handed down for generations,

I am absolutely thrilled with it in every way. I wish I could come up with something negative to give it a fair rating but can't,

other than it has no top strap button which is common on most high end acoustics. I am NOT drilling a hole in her so will strap her

the old fashioned way after I find the perfect strap to compliment it's beauty.I know there are more expensive Gibson's out there

but just can't see how I can improve upon this. I have played the Hummingbird but this one is every bit it's equal.Oh,

and the case candy that comes with this is so cool too, more than any other guitar I've purchased.

Love the nice soft hard case as well.So. in short it is perfect in every way in my eyes....my search is over for "the one"
