Has anyone bought a 2016 Gibson J45 or similar? I was looking for something of the kind, and went to two large Gibson stockists in south UK. I had been watching many soundclips and reviews on the "Tube"--especially by Greg Koch--- and they just seemed to be the perfect choice. I was shocked to find, after looking at apprx a dozen guitars, that they all seemed to be poorly set up, with very high actions, and fairly lifeless sounding guitars..... If you spend around £2000 on an acoustic, should you then have to pay a guy to set the thing up properly? I know Mr Koch is a genius who can make any guitar sound good, but even with that in mind, I was surprised and disappointed in what I found to be the general quality of these guitars, given the starting price...................any views-advice...especially from owners?
