Great video and nice playing. Did I see some DADGAD playing? You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned the combination of the spruce's brightness and the mahogany's warmth. Don't forget Jimmy Page played one of these, most notably on "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You". When I heard that, I had to have one! You're a living treasure!

I have a 2020 j-45 I bought new. I love the shorter scale length. It is more comfortable than the longer scale length of my hd-28 or d-35 martins. It has become my main giging guitar since I bought it. The action was better off the rack than the martins. I had to have a setup on both martins to get them where I wanted. Now I really enjoy playing either. They all are different in their own way. I think martin has really hit the nail on the head with the new super D to complete with the Gibson j-200. Geat picking also.

How can you not mention the beautiful J45 played by Ralph McTell its an amazing instrument and probably one of the best examples you will ever hear

D28 is my pick. Longer scale length. Higher pressure on the top. It pushes more volume. It is the tone Imprefer.

Love the J45 50's as I have that same guitar. But I simply do not care for the pickups. Just kills the tone of the guitar and its dynamic range. Much prefer to mic the J45 as well as any acoustic if that is an option

Gibson’s values are rooted in their history. As a brand, that’s what’s important to them, which is fine. Their choice to avoid too much innovation is a decision they make to maintain tradition and stay true to what made them what they are today. It won’t garner too many new fans but it will retain long time fans. That’s what they want, let them do what they want. The industry is still better with them involved.
