Best Value In An American-Made Acoustic Guitar
1 of 1 found this helpful A real built-in-Bozeman Gibson, crafted from all-US solid tonewoods Spruce top, Walnut sides and back, Maple neck with a walnut inlay and walnut fretboard. IT has a slightly shorter (24.75") and wider (1.725") neck than most acoustics, making for great playability, and that is glued via a typical Gibson dovetail with traditional hide glue. And the finish is hand rubbed nitrocellulose lacquer, not polyurethane. So it's kind of a unique and very old-school spec. There's no fancy inlays or binding, just excellent quality simple stuff. And to finish it all off the setup is done with a German PLEK machine (go YouTube it to see it in action).
The sound is closer to a Rosewood-bodied guitar than Mahogany, and the bass holds together under hard strumming - no compression. And the high end has almost as much shimmer as Rosewood. If you're looking for the booming low end of a Martin Dreadnought, you won't find that here, which is a very good thing if you want to play through amplification or record with it. Rather the bass is very well defined and very controlled. I like that.
The sound from the LH Baggs pickup is fine, and I'm getting used to the volume control hidden in the sound hole. What I'm not so excited about is the Cordura nylon battery pouch velcroed the end of the neck inside the body. Changing the battery requires loosening all the strings a lot. I'd just as soon have it in a little compartment as part of the endpiece, like on my Taylor. Not a deal-breaker.
And I save my favorite thing for last. Neck shape has never been a big deal maker or breaker for me. Until now. I absolutely love the shape and feel of the Maple neck. It reminds me of my maple-necked Telecaster, quick and solid. And that adds confidence to your playing.
So, is there a better value in an American acoustic guitar? Not that I found. And I looked. Martins and Taylors were at least $500-$1000 more, and had none of the unique features of the J15. Larrivee is making some interesting guitars in this general range, and so is Breedlove, but none of them lit the flame the Gibson J15.
