A Gibson J45 beautiful. I said “Dave what would it take for this one?” He said “ oh just play it for few minutes; I think you’ll like it”. I did. Nice flat action, fast neck. Beautiful rosewood and spruce. Incredible finish; warm melodic sound .. from soft folk like Aura Lee to peppy jazz like L of Birdland., I like it. With pen in hand it became mine. Very nice case. Insured by Heritage before I left the store. It compliments my L5 ( thankYou Gibson!!). Now for a name...
