Interesting day for downloads...

Just getting ahold of this now. Excited !

Prob my fav. release this year so far. NP:

It's good, maybe better than their last one ( to my ears anyway ). Quieter. Mmmm, not as heavily layered as their last effort either. Only my first spin. NP:

I picked this one up on vinyl Monday($10-11 bucks) and am really digging it. NP

It means your top is derived from the same piece of spruce, halved down it's depth. Two sides of the same coin, same grain pattern on both sides only a mirror image ( probably). "GE". That explains the old school Waverly tuners. Very Nice. Beautiful in fact. Gives it character. Remember the D-18 is the working man's dreadnought: A little louder and more boisterous than all of the others in it's line. A little character suits them just fine. Your gonna grow to love the look of that thing...... One of these days i'll post you a pic of my beloved 66 D-18. Beat but sweet. I'm working on a "n

"Truth". Whenever I'm in a shop that carries new Gibsons I always pick up the J-45s to play around a little bit.

And every once and a while you come across one that just has that chiming sound. My advice: don't get hurried or anxious and just take a while going from shop to shop until you find the one that speaks to you.

YEA!
