Hi,
I stumbled upon a 1980's Hank Williams Jr model G-45 over the weekend and was smitten. I'm primarily a Gibson acoustic guy and generally gravitate toward lighter weight acoustics. This G-45 is tank, but the ebony fretboard felt really good in the hand and this dread resonated and played like a great J-200.
In the $2000 plus area, it was more than I wanted to pay on a whim, and I definitely didn't want to pay extra for any cost associated it with it being a signature model (I'm not seeking a Hank Jr. sig).
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this guitar as compared to GF-60 (maple) from the late 80's. I found one available, also with a maple bound neck with ebony board. It is priced a little better and I am wondering if what I found appealing in the Hank Jr (ebony fretboard/maple neck playability combined with really nice sustain for a maple body) would be there in a good GF-60.
Thanks for any insight.
