suburude63 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I just got a pristine used ( new to me) TV J 45 red spruce topped ! Its incredible! Playing and sounding! It is also a true beauty to behold :-) ! I had recently bought a used 1942 j45 Legend and did not like it! I know you guys are saying this dudes whacked! But really I like this guitar way better. Sounds better! Neck way more playable to me. The only thing I miss is the binding. I know its crazy but the binding on the Legend is a coffee color very very nice. But I will live with the creamy color on the TV Special ed. Anyone else besides Jannusguy got one? What do you think? suburude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modac Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Could you be more specific as to why you didn't like the Legend's sound, and what it is about the sound of the TV that you like better? BTW....congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fp Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I had a Legend as well and traded it for another guitar that I like way better. The neck on the Legend was just too big. Now I like big necks on my guitars but the Legend was ridiculously big for me. I've played a few early 40's J45's and they had big necks but they weren't as uncomfortable for me to play as the Legend was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modac Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Yes, I understand the necks are quite large and deep....not an issue for me....but I'm curious as to the OPs preference for the sound of the TV over the Legend. In case I ever come across a deal on a Legend, I'd like to know why the poster feels the way he does. If TVs are better, or just as good sounding, then maybe I could save some serious money.

suburude63 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi Modac! I am not sure "yet" as to why I like the TVSE sound better. This TV as you know has the adi top and is braced the same as far as I know as the Legend. Unfortunately I don't have the legend as I said. I guess if I did it would be easier to do a comparison and then to explain. To be absolutely honest I did not think it was worth the money and I feel I got a deal on it. Again not to offend any Legend owners. This was my subjective opinion. Now I feel that the Special Edition is absolutely worth what I paid for it! I guess I am just becoming a Gibson guy. I also have a Advanced Jumbo I just got which I love the sound of. It is a lot different from the J 45/Spruce. I have owned a Martin D 28 Marquis and sold it. But again I feel the AJ is sweeter sounding and way more powerful and it only has Light strings as it came. Soon to have Meds. I also own a Martin D 18 GE which I love. I also want to say I feel very lucky and blessed to have these beautys! suburude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
