Gibson J-45 in bluegrass

[keith.rogers]

I think you will be fine, but if you are not using them, consider getting used to medium strings. They make a difference in a jam, and you might end up liking them. If the guitar is set up properly for them, it should not be a big lift to play. (But don't forget your capo!)

Thanks

You might have a look at the Boucher Bluegrass Goose models made here in Quebec, Canada and less expensive than the custom Guitars made in the USA.
