Custom Shop J-45 Koa

Recommended Posts

Bass is great on my J-45 Rosewood. I've had a hog J-45 and Southern Jumbo in the past and bass was good. I'm hoping this will be somewhere in-between...?

 

My experience with J-185's in general is that, compared to J-45's, they are much more balanced and so would lack bass in comparison...

"While I love the look of the koa, I find this guitar at least kind of lacking in the bass."

 

Typical both of small jumbos and Koa, which is a fairly balanced tonewood. Neither has the low end of a RW dread or slope.
