duluthdan Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Been playing my new to me used J-45 TV for a month now, damn near none stop. Lifelong Martin guy, and I gotta say I'm absolutely loving this short-scale fret board. So much so that now I'm tinkering with the idea of trading in one of the Martins on a New Vintage SJ with Rosewood back, thinking it would be a pleasant replacement for an HD 35, especially since it has that short scale. What a hoot these are! and fun? Oh man. Any New Vinatage SJ folks out there with an opinion? Especially Rosewood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely wasn't George Harrison w. his J-200 after recording Here Comes The Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
