@MidouBanChan ,

You are right on the spot on that.The guitar had some new John Pearse P.B.lights when the video was made.

@greekflatpicker oh nice, i'm using the very same strings on my Gibson j-50. But i actually like their sound only after two-three weeks, it becomes more mellow, less airy, love it.. keep it up :)

Great tune, great playing, great guitar!  I'm curious if you have played the newer Legend series J-45 from Gibson. If so, how do you think the Legend compares to the old guitars, allowing for the age difference? Do you think the Legend guitars will be as good as the old ones as they age? Thanks!

@GotTheSilver01 ,

Thanks for your comment.Much appreciated.Sorry,i can't be of help,i haven't played the new Legend model yet but i read great things on them.

I used to have two custom shop Gibson AJs,one with Madagascar and one with Cocobolo back and sides.Very good guitars,but they just don't compared with the older ones from '42-'45 era.Those are the best.

@pmscalisi Right on.. Gibson's have a much more balanced tone, but there are great guitars in many labels. It's the player not the guitar.

Don't you luv those Gibson acoustic guitars, yes, it always helps to have a very good musician play a fine vintage instrument. Good job.
