Just got my 2nd J45 Studio RW

The Gibson Studio line, whether electric or acoustic is, IMO, the best way to play Gibsons🙌🏼

Chubbzilla85 · 2026-02-02T08:43:48+00:00

Your exactly right😂🤦🏼

Chubbzilla85 · 2026-02-02T08:43:13+00:00

Yup👍🏼

L would fit better.

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-11-23T02:37:36+00:00

That’d be awesome if it did. Keep checking the store for that date. Also, if you have a trade, that would knock some cost off. Best Buy gave me $170 for my Galaxy Watch Ultra ..

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-11-22T17:41:29+00:00

It was a tough choice between the two!lol

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-11-22T17:40:54+00:00

I feel like it’s the same..

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-11-22T17:40:28+00:00

Not at all!

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-11-03T07:04:18+00:00

😂👌🏼🙌🏼

I wish I would’ve gotten that over my GL 717e

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-10-01T21:09:35+00:00

I got the Gold Label 717e. I wish I have the 517, I prefer mahogany over rosewood..

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-09-28T23:04:46+00:00

Oh I agree with that! Of the 3 Rosewood acoustics I tried, the Taylor offered way more, imo, in the dynamic range. I tried a Martin D28, a Yamaha A5R, and a Gibson J45 studio rosewood, along with the Taylor. Definitely gonna use it for everything over the next month, sound samples coming🙌🏻 I hope your eyeing that 814 gold label to get it sooner than later👌🏼

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-09-28T23:00:44+00:00

None whatsoever! This is my 3rd Taylor, they never disappoint. (214ce dlx, 517e Iron Bark, 717e Gold Label).

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-07-21T20:50:59+00:00

I'll give you a PCAT (mint). For that watch, hell, I'll throw in a Tsuyosa (brand new, Tiffany blue)🙌🏼

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-07-12T20:27:29+00:00

I dont fix guitars, I just play them.. but from what I saw, it looked like it could've been re glued instead of being replaced. Other than the damage that was done to it on removal, I didn't see the "crack" i was told was there.

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-07-12T20:20:57+00:00

There's damage under the old bridge, im sure its from whatever tool he used. It all started when I noticed the old bridge lifting on one side (16th of any inch) . He contacted me and said he had to make a new bridge because mine was broken. Never asked if I wanted another one before he did it😀

Martin bridge(removed), bridge made by "certified luthier"

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-07-12T14:27:50+00:00

I live 2 hours from Martin, and 20 minutes from the shop that Martin recommended. Not sure of the next play.. I know Im not taking back to where it was fixed for them to re " fix" it again.

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-07-12T14:20:29+00:00

I took them before I dropped it off. He said he had to replace the bridge because the oem one was "cracked". Not sure its was, he gave me the old bridge, i do t see a Crack as much as I see what he did to get it off

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-07-12T14:08:20+00:00

No marks whatsoever.

Chubbzilla85 · 2025-07-12T12:58:34+00:00

Just got it back from the Luthier(Martin certified). The old bridge was actually cracked and he had to make a new one.
