Default J45 Banner back from setup

Just got the J45 back from the tech. Plays like a dream. Action is set at 0.090 and 0.050 respectively. I want to be able to dig in some on this guitar as thats what Mahogany lends itself to. Its a keeper!!

Good to hear you love the guitar now. A setup to your own requirements is well worth doing!

The maple one is a 0001A Collings 12 fret, most likely custom model.

Nice. It is refinished or is it just that clean?

Hey Zissou,

The maple is 0001A Collings 12 fret. The other is a D45V.

Thanks

That is a very enviable guitar tree!! Awesome! Getting the right set up for your attack and touch is critical. Well done!

Thanks Glenn. Was comparing maple to rosewood to mahogany. Each has its place.

They are, all three, in good company! Now for the next question: Is that stand easily reconfigured to hold four guitars?
