Murph Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I call my J-15 my "walnut" J-45 all the time. It's a walnut J-45 with a maple neck and walnut fretboard. Limited run, too. I also own a 1979 solid walnut S.G. with an ebony board I bought NOS in 1993. I found it in an old music store in Lake Charles, La. when the owner had died and his (elderly) wife was liquidating. I knew the old guy and back in the 80's he had a NOS "Recording" Les Paul that I wanted, because mine was getting worn out, but when we searched the place it was gone, but this 14 year old NEW guitar was hiding. I bought it on the spot. I love walnut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I can not say that I have heard any Total walnut acoustic, I have a couple with back and sides but still SS top. I like those just fine, I would be curious to hear how they sound as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remmuts Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Read about an all walnut Martin 00 on another forum and the consensus was that it was subdued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaten by the squirrels. Just so you know, RBSinTo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisrownSal Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Well, I almost bought a Martin Special Run all Walnut 000 from Manchester Music Mill. They look stunning, and I thought it might scratch the itch left by my 000-28, which I sold to my friend a year and a half back. instead, I am thinking Gibson. J-45 Studio Rosewood. Short scale, thinner body depth, warm… we will see. I know I loved the Studio in Walnut I owned two years ago.

RBSinTo Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Sal, In case you're interested......... https://www.12fret.com/instruments/gibson-l-00-sustainable-walnut-2019/ Yes, the top is spruce, but still seems very nice.

Dave F Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Looks like you'll have to go to Taylor or Alvarez if that J45 Studio doesn't work out. Masterworks Elite 77 Folk Acoustic-electric Guitar - Shadowburst | Sweetwater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
