I first fell in love with the J45 in 1966. I finally decided to treat myself to one 50 years later. Over the past 50 years I have owned many guitars, but none have felt or sounded as good as the J45. The finish was flawless, the neck suits my hand, and the tone is all I have wanted. I think I have enjoyed playing guitar more in the past year or so with this than I did the first 50 years. My only regret is that I waited so long to get it. I love that the volume and tone control are tucked away, and that the guitar does not have a cutaway; it looks exactly like the one I wanted way back when.

Musical Background:

I have been playing for 50 years; I gig as a singer/songwriter in New England.

Musical Style:

MY music is a blend of folk and rock inspired by Donovan, Graham Nash, and Pete Seeger
