onewilyfool Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I posted this a while back concerning J-45's, and it got some member's panties in a twist, but it does make a point…..there have been several (even more) NEW models of J-45's since I posted this (please let's all update the list!!) but the point is, that it seems that the J-35 is going the same way as the J-45, and there ain't that much differences between the models….I know, I know….it's just marketing, and choice is good, but still….lol….again, this list makes me smile, maybe even laugh a bit….please update!!!

magictwanger Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Ok,I get it...but....really,who cares if you just want a good guitar.As a player,we make the choice based on sound and playability,assuming we can afford the guitar.I leave the marketing to big business. Based on what I think this particular J-35(Collectors Edition)will sound like,if it resembles my 2011 Fuller's '39 J-35 Reissue,it is a superb guitar.Don't care what came before it,nor should anyone else. In this class of Slope(Jumbo) I've played a Kopp K-35A,Flamming J-35 and a Vintage Gibson 35(or 36)J-35 recently.The prices ranged from $4350-$10,000....I loved the Kopp and Flamming.The Vintage J-35 was one of the worst sounding guitars I've ever touched.......Went home,directly,and played my Fuller's 1939 J-35(acquired for $2800,last year, incl shipping and a rather long return policy).It was darn close to what I loved in the two private builders' "J's".So much so that I'm thinking it under priced for this level of USA made instrument,considering the specs. So,at $3000,incl shipping, I see this new collectors edition J-35,with a nice Adi top,SB finish and current Gibson quality which has been clearly obvious over the last few years(I've only gotten interested in Gibsons a few years ago and fail to see any obvious flaws on a consistent level)it is a "fair deal"....I won't say "cheap" because in this world that phrase is over used,imo..even a thou is a lot of moola. -:) Btw,I certainly don't want to seem disrespectful of other,contrary opinions here....Just my 2 cents.

Martin 1940D28 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I guess this would be called "losers justifying their lost money". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Look…forget what color they are painting the horse these days….the label and name shouldn't matter one bit….in fact, go to the store and play them all blindfolded!!! This way you won't be swayed by "true vintage" or these other catch names, who knows, you may find a marketing-nameless regular old J-45 that blindfolded, will knock your blindfold off, and you will surprise yourself by what you choose!! Blindfolded brings everything down to sound and feel….and ultimately, that's what it's all about……not in specifications and a NAME!!! Take the blindfold test!! Surprise yourself!!THEN, get ready to go deep into that wallet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
