duluthdan Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Recently acquired a Gibson Jackson Browne Model 1 (no electronics) and have been playing the begeebers out of it, all the while thinking - "This is just like my J-45 but on steroids!" Inches / / / J-45 (2010 TV) Body Length 20 1/2 Body Width 16 Soundhole Diameter 4 Body Depth 4 3/4 Jackson Browne Body Length 20 1/4 Body Width 15 3/4 Soundhole Diameter 3 3/4 Body Depth 5 Sure sounds bigger ! Must be the walnut back and sides - and the thru bridge saddle. From peeking in the soundhole, the back braces on the JB don't appear to be radically scalloped. Innaresting. Any Roy Smeck owners out there? Take a peek for me, perhaps its due to the properties of the walnut - sure sounds like a million bucks whatever they did !

Red 333 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Look where the bridge is on the JB. Due to the 12 frets, it's in a meatier part of the top. THAT'S the biggest reason it sounds like it's on steroids. GREAT looking new guitar. Congrats! Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
