J-45 colors


Gibson CS

Recommended Posts

i played a couple and i always figured the sunburst would look better until i played the natural IN PERSON

its like what is more beautiful, a majestic waterfall, or a sunny beach

 

hard to pick, when the action and tone was similar

I have never seen a natural mahogony, so I can't comment. Of course, the burst J45 hogs are beautiful. My L00 Blues king has the same woods/colors. It is beautiful to look at.

 

I do like the natural top rosewood J45; the contrast of the rosewood body, the ebony fretboard/bridge look great against the natural top.

Thats a great looking Norlin Era Deluxe "SS" Sunburst.

Mine is a 72 model Tobacco Burst Deluxe, a underated joy, which I have been playing for over 33 years.

Thanks Dale,

 

Yes I like it. It's 79 and has a big hole in the back of the headstock where someone gouged out the "2". I have had it since about 1982 and the flaw is the laquer around the soundhole.

 

Very underated I agree, but plays brilliantly well bedded in, can't wait for the Songwriter to settle down too!

 

I always thought the J45 should look a bit ragged round the edges I know mine does!

 

Glad you enjoy yours too!

 

John

For me, sunburst says Gibson, where natural leads my mind to a Martin. I have never owned a Gibson that had a natural finish and have never owned a Martin with a burst. It is really that cut and dried for me - though I had never thought of it before seeing this interesting question. Thanks for the post.
