Aster1 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 That sound is why I have my Custom!!! Love them. I do like that tiger stripe pickguard a bunch on that beauty as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonecrusher Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Tossed between this and the standard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Based purely on my personal experience - Go with the standard unless you really want rosewood. If you want rosewood I would suggest other models besides the J45 such as a J200 or AJ or a M_r_t_n Dread. I'm not that impressed with the J45 rosewood model. Looks good, sounds dead when compared to other rosewood models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR GIBS Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I A D O R E !!!! That sound !!!! One thing I don't like - this rosewood fretboard... Looks ugly to me on this instrument (sorry, but that's what I think and I don't want to ofend nobody) I'd prefere ebony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 No I 'm just stating my own personal experiences. Clips are nice but usually they show great artist that could make a cigar box sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of my Rosewood boards are as light looking a color as that one either. I'd still take that git in a heart beat however. Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjl200 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I got one 2 months ago and so far I love it. I,'ve got a rosewood Martin J40 and to my ear the gibson is just fuller and the 40 has a auditorium size body! But as they say...... it all come down to,what your ears tell you.

ParlourMan Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 ...or a M_r_t_n Dread. I'm guessing the first is an 'a', the third and 'i' but I'm damned if I know what the second one is….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duluthdan Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I ended up buying a custom today. The rosewood just had that extra sparkle to me. Pics ? I think these sound like they would be Inarresting. Happy to hear you are liking it. Short scale Rosewood. I like that thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Here's a few pictures of my J45 Custom Amberburst finish, herringbone trim. Special headstock, fretboard and bridge inlays. Great looking rosewood on the back and sides. Pickguard in the right place. [/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generaldreedle Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I ended up buying a custom today. The rosewood just had that extra sparkle to me. When I bought my custom it was the best sounding guitar out of all the gibsons, and that includes the much beloved AJ. I don't think the Custom gets enough love for how great it is.
