J-45 song of the day for Sat 07-02-2016
 

Artist: Lightinin' Hopkins
Song: Mojo Hand
Guitar: Gibson J-50 (late 50's)

That's a great recording. For me there are too few videos from that era. That's a gem.

Very nice. Thanks for posting. This is a clip I had seen before and always remembered how that guitar sounded. You just can't beat the tone of a Gibson slope-shoulder from 1956 to about 1968 or so. The straight-braced slopes from that era had a different tone, quick to speak, there's nothing else like them. Some of the best sounding ones I've played had the adjustable bridge.
I own 2 of them and they are just stellar sounding.

Lol, and the pick flys off at the end! Love it
