Does anyone have any information or experience with a Gibson J-60 they
could share? I am looking at one. The one in question the seller said
is a 97 model J-60 "plus". I have not been able to find out any info
as to what the "plus" denotes. What are the differences between a
"plus" and a standard J-60? It is a several hour drive to go and see
the guitar, it is described as in excellent condition and as having "monsterous tone" in the seller's words (he is a dealer). How would
this guitar compare to a good d-28 or hd-28? I am a fan of Gibson tone
and would appreciate an unbiased subjective opinion. I am looking for
a good quality rosewood dread. The seller is asking 1400.00, does this
sound like a reasonable price? I appreciate any input.
Thanks, Scott
I was the purchaser at the Gibson Montana plant from 1988 -1993. In 1991 I got the opportunity to build a guitar, and since I was primarily a bluegrass player at the time, I designed and built a bluegrass guitar, using Advanced Jumbo bracing and a
square shouldered body. When I was done, the guy who was the general manager at the time looked at it and dubbed it the J-60. I have the prototype of the line and now, sadly, I need to sell it. It's a good guitar and I've used it on several recordings.
