I have noticed that the J45 (The Workhorse) or its electrified version, the 160 (The John Lennon guitar) show up in all kinds of music - folk, country, blues, rock, etc. No other guitars seem to cross the musical categories like these. Martin D28's - bluegrass, Guild - rock, etc. But these Gibson are everywhere. I'd have to say that a J45 I once owned was the easiest guitar I have ever played. Sometimes it seemed to fret itself. Maybe that has something to do with it.
