Thanks, great to see four all together. When will you ever chance like this again! Love hearing all the details angles and measurements. You should write a detail book. Love it Thanks so much!!
It is rare, and very welcome, to see a video about guitars in which the host actually knows in depth what he is talking about! (There are too many, guitar videos which are basically, "Isn't this guitar pretty, and doesn't it sound nice?")
hard to tell but i think your friend tommy's sounds more like a j45 than a j45, it sounds like my j45 anyway. i have a 2016 j35 and it's a little better in the bass than my 66 j45. as you say, guitars are pieces of wood and all those different trees have different characters.
Another informative video. Interesting that Gibson "left" the bracing on left-handed guitars the same as on righties; I wonder if they still do that on modern Gibsons, or do they build lefties with "correct" bracing? (I'll have to check inside my new lefty J-45 later...) And in their current Vintage or Historic models, are lefties braced like the old ones, or "correctly"? I ask because I'm a lefty player interested in the new Gibson 1936 J-35 ( www.gibson.com/en-US/Guitar/ACC6G425/1936-J-35/Vintage-Sunburst ).

great comparison and history lesson as always! thanks .. .
Super interesting Mark! I find these videos very informative as a builder.
Looking for strings that won’t fold my old Gibson flat top in half ! Do you sell them on your website? Thank you
You have good videos on old gibsons 🙂
Thanks. We don't sell strings online. Easy to find, though!
Another great video, Mark! Question- the 2 guitars on the right look wider across the lower bout. Is that a thing, or a trick of the camera?
Just a camera lens distortion. Quickie iphone vid!

I’m going to come down to your shop soon!

100% Definitely the best of the 4. What a big, bold, full-sounding old Gibby. Love it.

Michael - Gibson now braces lefty guitars like lefties should be braced. Their left-handed Vintage and Historic models are also braced "lefty"
