Quake Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Amazingly, this is my first Mahogany and Sitka 6 string acoustic in almost 40 years of playing. It's been in my mitts for 3 hours now and what a joy! I blame/credit the Forum for this as I was tempted to go with the J-35 until I was able to figure out the SJ was really what I wanted; a J-45 all Southern Belle'd up! I'll post a family shot (AJ and J-200) when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurfbird Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'm having a daily battle figuring out if I want a J-45 or an SJ. A good argument to be having with oneself, but not made any easier seeing this beauty. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aster1 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 That is one beautiful guitar. Big Congrats on that score!!! Keep us posted on how you like it. What's the main differences in the SJ & J-45? Gorgeous case for that gem to BTW. Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichG Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Congratulations. Beautiful guitar. As I posted in another thread, I love the SCSJ I have. I'm sure it sounds as good as it looks. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quake Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Not the La-Z-Boy B) I don't think Gibson is making a "regular" SJ now, but it's a more adorned J-45. The TV, which I'm not sure they are making now with the New Vintage, is more similar to the J-45 TV, but with a Sitka top instead of Adirondack. BTW, mine was made exactly three months ago, which was a Sunday according to the label; do they really work then or is it a typo? Thanks everyone, now back to playing.

JuanCarlosVejar Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 congrats !!! I am still pondering the idea of ordering an Aaron Lewis SJ ... just because it has that simple 50's golden logo JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 That combination of SJ burst, cream-bindings, split-parallelograms and rosa-nougat cali-case never ceases to melt me down - congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I'm having a daily battle figuring out if I want a J-45 or an SJ. A good argument to be having with oneself, but not made any easier seeing this beauty. Congrats! It's not either/or. Get both, like a lot of us here. Then, if you find that you like the sound a playability of both equally, keep the one that has more esthetic appeal to you. (But don't think that will be an easy choice. That's why a lot of us still have......both.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroAussie Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Great looking guitar, just love the look of the SJ. Would have prefered the tuners to be butter beans than Tulips (thats for squares and jumbos) but thats just me being the regular tuner Natzi. Enjoy, would love to hear how she sounds !

I'll post a family shot (AJ and J-200) when I get a chance. Welcome to the SJ "true/new vintage" club, they're awesome guitars. I've had mine for over 18 months now & it is a total joy to behold & play. I think Gibson still make the standard one as I do see them for sale in the UK fairly regularly. I'm with EA on the tuners, prefer the butter beans, but lets not be too picky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
