I bought this gambling that this was finally going to be the right guitar for me. At first the pictures were deceiving and rather ugly. The factory specs. were wrong and the guitar seemed odd. When it arrived I was surprised how the neck profile fit perfect to my hand. Unlike all other Gibson J45's I own often having a slim neck and narrow 1.725" or rather 1 11/16" Man Made (cheap) Nut. This one had a wider 1.77" or 1 26/32 Bone Nut, rounder much more comfortable neck and a well made (easy to set-up) adjustable Bone Saddle The final coup de gra was it's feather weight and booming high quality sound I often hear from Martin guitar enthusiasts. Yes you heard me right and I repeat "booming high quality sound I often hear from Martin guitar enthusiasts" Once in a while you find something like these at least for me that is. I own many and owned many acoustic guitars but never one so light and pleasurable to hear and play. I mentioned that the pictures of this guitar model were deceiving and ugly. Well when you see it for yourself its beautiful. Hold it feel how surprisingly light it is then play. As always my opinions are my own, not everyone admires light guitars and desired sounds are yours for the choosing. Hope you'll at least try one.
