Acoustic Electrical Guitars Can Make You a Star

By Jimmy Jones


Imagine yourself getting up in front of a small but appreciative audience at a local nightclub or coffee bar with one of your acoustic electrical guitars plugged in and prepared to play. You test your mic and are introduced to the avid audience, made up of usually your friends and family. Imagine yourself playing the 1st lines of "Ventura Road" by America and everyone applauding in anticipation of the first verse, which they all know by heart of course.

You finish strongly to a wild and enthusiastic ovation, maybe even a bit OTT but hey, these are your chums and work-mates and fellow musicians and they would like to support you. Sounds like fun, right? This is a particularly do-able scenario since in just about any city or city there are many "Open Mic" nights where you can sign up and play for a minimum of 1 or 2 songs and infrequently much more.

You do need to have the right equipment however and it helps to have 1 or 2 of many great acoustic electric guitars that are out on the market. Many music backers like the sweet sounds of a Taylor or a finely tuned Takamine, both acoustic electric guitars, but most will tell you that nothing is better than the sound of a Gibson J-45. Gibson started to make acoustic electric guitars back in 1936 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Gibson J-45 acoustic electrical guitars are now made at the Gibson acoustic guitar factory in Bozeman, Montana by the finest luthiers in the world. Bozeman has some of the finest atmospheric conditions to work with the fine woods that are needed to make these beautiful instruments.

Gibson J-45 acoustic electric guitars were first invented in 1942. This great guitar has been nicknamed "The Workhorse" because of its fine craftsmanship and durability. This is the classic "dreadnaught" design with round shoulders and deep hollow body. Gibson J-45 acoustic electrical guitars are built with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides. The workmanship and artisanship of these fine guitars ranks them with the very best acoustic electric guitars ever produced.

Gibson also has other models of acoustic electrical guitars including the Hummingbird, the Tunesmith, the J-200, the Blues King, and the AJ 500-R. All these finely made instruments are employed by great popular musicians all around the planet. The deep and superb tones that they emit are valued highly among the planet's top composers and singers.

You can also own one of those fine instruments and go play at your local open mic night. A Gibson J-45 will set you back around $3000 for a new one, but you may also find some bargains on used equipment on ebay.com. Don't accept less. Make sure you get the best you can afford. Your audience will definitely thank you for the gesture and you'll surely fall crazily in love with your new Gibson J-45, one of the best acoustic electric guitars ever made, bar none.
