TommyK Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Tough decision. Buy both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brannon67 Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Ha, thats a good idea, but I cant afford both right now. I will probably end up financing one or the other at Guitar Center. They have that 12 month no interest thing goin gon, so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Morton Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Try to play both. One will surely jump out at you. Dont count out the J-45 TV thjat could be a great option as well. But if you find an AJ you really like I would go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvguit Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I have to go with the AJ. I have never played one that wasn't a tone monster. Too bad they don't use Madagascar Rosewood for the back/sides anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Had the same doubt half a year ago and knowing one of them had to pass on, brought them both in house for a while. Within 3 or 4 days the choice made itself. The 45 totally outshone the rosewood cousin. Had character and filled the room with something special. The AJ - that cannon - was loud and not bad sounding at all. It just didn't conjure the same thrill'n'wonder. Then again it wasn't played in, , , and to be fair : As a slide instrument, it hit bulls eye right on. I didn't know (not a glass player) – the buyer unveiled it and took it away. Let's hear what you decide. Have a happy dilemma - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brannon67 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Ok I decided, with much playing on both, to get the J45. It just sang to me, and felt right. So, Thats that I guess. Over and done with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
