Always_Black Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 If you want a natural finish, buy a Taylor. If you want a real finish, buy a Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geelinus Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 If it ain't a burst, it ain't a real J-45 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson CS Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eds111 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 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.

J45dale Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Johnt, 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. Dale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnt Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Johnt' date='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. Dale.[/quote'] 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedkul Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Personally, this: is my favorite J-45 version. But this: runs a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nid2007 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 No disrespect to the J-50 or the CW, but gotta have a J-45 in sunburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballcorner Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
