If he can't mic the guitar up, he should see if he can get an L.R. Baggs Lyric put in. Won't be able to get an undersaddle into the J-50 with that bridge, and the Lyric sounds better anyway. :) Don't suppose he's reading this, though. If so, hi James! Hope you got your amplification troubles sorted!
Gotta love James bay,,fantastic singer songwriter,,great guitar player,a wee bit too handsome for my liking and maybe a wee bit stoned here as well lol !
TheDoctorG That zip will damage the finish and even damage the binding and wood. It's always better not to do any damage to the guitar. Leather jackets like that are really designed for riding motorcycles.
Can't believe I missed him at the same great guitar shop in Guildford......gutted James is one of my true fave artists and a real inspiration to me
I love James Bay and I love his guitar!
Hahah...it's so lovely how he touches n looks at his guitar ^^
haha he's talking about Andertons in the beginning
Have to agree...once you discover the beauty of Gibson acoustics....you can't turn back!
Just bought myself a poor mans acoustic Gibson g-45 ... and boy it’s how you describe it... I just can’t put it down for some reason
that guitar shop, was it andertons? :)
Tim Swarts it was:)
Thought the same thing! When he mentioned Guildford.
Where did this magazine and youtube page come from? It's a gem
Change the bridge and saddle, remove the adjustable bridge, then put what ever pick up you want in it :-) nice axe :-)
Very true person

Awesome musician but bad taste in acoustic pick ups :/ should've bought an LR baggs for that old guitar!! Best pickup out there
Andertons Guilford possibly?
Looks like a plastic bridge (yes Gibson actually used plastic bridges) change to rosewood bridge and a bone saddle wood give better sound.
I can't believe he hasn't done that, lol!
That J-55 has that nasty hollow plastic bridge with which Gibson built their guitars in the early to mid 60s. Nobody knows why....
He didn't play it Yeh he is friends with those guys at Andertons
Does Andertons sell vintage guitars? I was wondering if it was perhaps Guitar Village in Farnham?
He wouldn't be touching any of my guitars in that jacket - I don't care who he is!
Iazzaboyce its his guitar tho
Nothing belongs to anyone enough for them not to take care of it.
Iazzaboyce what? he clearly cares for his guitar, a zipper wont do much

@lazzaboyce I care about my guitars. if they get scratched it adds character.
Could this guy name-drop any harder?
Never head of this bloke
