  1. Hello everyone, Looking to buy my first expensive Gibson, my initial choice was the original 50s J45 (tried in Nashville 3 months ago) ...until I had the chance to try the J45 1942 banner last week (in Switzerland) (Playing blues, pop, rock) The budget is not the same but I have hard time to find a shop to do a last comparison between those 2 (tones and neck shape). As far as I remember, the 1942 has a V neck not too glossy so ok to play and the tones is warm and well balanced. The 50s original neck was more C shape and more glossy - or with a differente gloss? - (so not easier to play) and the tones were a bit more bright. Would anyone has been in my situation, and what did you finally buy? (it may help me....so hard to find a store with these guitars in stock...near Lex, KY) Thanks, Dom
