I took this nice photo and thought I'd share my precious J-45:

In my greatest haggling triumph to date, I purchased her NEW for $1300 from Best Buy of all places. Humble origins (Best Buy ain't exactly Elderly Instruments or Chicago Music Exchange) but a particularly nice specimen of a J-45. Mesmerizing finish, crisp tone, and effortless playability. It's not a NGD as I've had it 2 years already but it's the best picture I have so I felt like sharing.

Nice. What camera did you use?

Quarterpounder · May 11th, 2012, 02:54 PM

I like it a lot!!!

hemingway · May 11th, 2012, 02:57 PM

Wow, that is a special picture.

Thanks. It's a Canon 5D mkII with an 85mm f/1.8 lens.

smssatts · May 12th, 2012, 02:32 AM

Wow. What is it about a J-45 that makes me want to just look at it all day? And the smell. Is it just me?

guit30 · May 12th, 2012, 05:09 AM

What's it smell like? Wood? or Glue?

Nice guitar and nice snap. The bouquet on that lens looks a little brittle though.

Bill Ashton · May 12th, 2012, 04:11 PM

Wow, nice work! That price is not much more than what my J-30 cost new in 1995

You must have purchased that from them for their cost!

Beautiful sunburst, great phtography.

Murky · May 12th, 2012, 05:55 PM

Chillman, that's a nice-looking one. I like the burst.

I've got two of them and can't decide which I like best, so I'll just keep both as long as I can.

tombm3 · May 12th, 2012, 10:39 PM

Nice picture and axe. It really looks like it's popping out of the screen.

studio1087 · May 13th, 2012, 07:17 AM

Beautiful guitar.

That's the nicest photo that I've seen in a long time. Really nice!

My Les Paul Clasic came from Best Buy. Similar deal. I love stopping there.

Tonetele · May 13th, 2012, 07:26 AM

My ideal acoustic guitar. Great photo. I'll be taking one with me to the Old Folks Home I end up in someday- doubt they'll toleraté Teles, Strats, etc. and my Fender amp.

Jethro · May 13th, 2012, 01:00 PM

That shot makes ya feel all warm and fuzzy inside....just like the background

Mike Simpson · May 13th, 2012, 02:34 PM

A beauty of a guitar you have there. I really like J-45's... I have a 49 and a 62.

JDRNoPro · May 13th, 2012, 09:35 PM
