you are right about the early J45s.. there just better.. when I touch and play a TV .. I do hear the tone of the early 90s J45s.. but with all the lingo of Model designations like TV or Early.. its a sales pitch.. If I want a early j45.. I think of a 40s or 50s.. even a TV... for the money.. a Vintage piece is where the Moneys are spent for me.. I can snag a early 90s j45 900 to 1200.. why spend more?
