I understand you completely - I did so last year.

I bought a Bozeman Montana 1998 "Early J-45" in superb condition at a good price. itīs twotone (hence my name) sunburst, the most beautiful sunburst like only gibson does, off-white binding, and Kluson tulips, which I like much better than white plastic tuners or the cheap chrome half moons. the neck is quite fat which is good for me (big hands). I am so happy that I own this guitar, itīs still like the first day I had it. I made quite a step forward since having this instrument I believe. It makes you want to play if you know what I mean.
I sing and play guitar, fingers only. itīs not made for heavy strumming or lead playing with a pick, I suppose. If some friend does this with this guitar, I usually donīt like it. I never use a pick. If I have to play in a big room or on a big stage, I use a Blueridge BR 40 dreadnought instead (which has a b-band system).

BTW, I use round core strings on the Gibson (12-54 Newtone MC PBs, or Pyramid acoustic bronze). they are nice for finger playing.

good luck finding it,
twotone
