    I've said it before but I'll say it again, lemmo is the kind of player who just makes me want to pick up a guitar and play, which i believe is about the best thing one can say about another guitarrist

    Great playing and a good sounding j-50 from what i feel is the best era for the J-45 and J-50. I see for 2020 Gibson has brought back their 60's J-45 reissue. Don't be fooled, the vintage ones like this were voiced a bit different, non-scalloped bracing really changes the tone, it gives you a bit more compressed and less mellow mid-range (punchy tone vs the sweet clangy tone on the banners and pretty much all J-series slopes built by Gibson Montana these days, although for some reason they went non-scalloped on the G45 series) and as it stands you can only get a good 60's era style J-45 tone buying the vintage real thing or going with a boutique builder. Maybe one of these days Gibson Montana will get the bracing right on the 60's reissues.

He said for a short time they came with a case that was white with brown spots like a cow. Apparently those cases are very rare and expensive among collectors now. Of course I tried to buy it from him and of course he wouldn't sell lol.

    “Really good fingerpicking guitars” ...... I would respectfully disagree, they were specifically flat picking guitars. I actually have a 60s J50, so I know something about these particular guitars! They just do not fingerpick well, the top end is not strong enough. Notice Lemmo didn’t actually fingerpick there. But they are wonderful guitars and I really do agree that they respond well the harder you pick.
