Motherofpearl Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Now this is really gonna mess you guys up. As you know or have seen I've owned some pretty messed up guitars such as the j45 mystic rosewood most of you didn't agree with the rosewood on a j45 well check this out.

chasAK Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Motherofpearl, I think you are just trying to mess with mymind!! (It doesn’t take much either!) So it’s kind of a long scale j45TV –almost??, or is it an AJ trying to become a j45, or is it a j45 trying tobecome an AJ?? chasAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherofpearl Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Haha ya I'm confused too. Ill tell you what I went through buying this one. I had a Martin d41 and after owning 2 rosewood guitars and not bonding with them I went on the hunt for a slope with mahogany or walnut. I came accr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always wanted an aj never had a great opportunity to get one and this one kind of fell in my lap. I had a j45 tv and loved it. So now I get one that's got the same specs just in bigger form. Plus I love the honeyburst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I love the honeyburst I suspect the modern AJ and the modern J-45 share the same body as all the Gibson slopes, despite the slight differences in the original versions. So now you've got a mahogany AJ? Is it short scale as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherofpearl Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 No nick long scale. 45 and aj bracing is different though? I thought anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 No nick long scale. 45 and aj bracing is different though? I thought anyway Bozeman-made AJ's and J-35's have the same bracing, but are usually different scales (there are some short-scale AJ's). Bozeman-made AJ's and J-45's always have different back bracing. Top bracing varies by model of J-45; for instance, J-45 TV has same top bracing as AJ. Bozeman J-45's are always short-scale to my knowledge. In the Kalamazoo days, Gibson made a long-scale J-45, which it badged as the Epiphone Texan. Lovely guitar, Motherofpearl. Hope it sounds great, too. Enjoy! Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now you've got a mahogany AJ? Is it short scale as well? They actually are different shapes these days. Confirmed by Bozeman. I have seen the different molds too.

duluthdan Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I normally is an active lr baggs but this one has a different saddle any reccomendations Good candidate for under bridge - like the K&K or the new Trance Amulet "M" (mono) that is coming out - surely will be less $$$ than the stereo version. Somewhere in my head, October 16 sounds like it might be the release date? Nothing yet on the Trance website, but their FB page is abuzz... You might have timed this perfectly ! Its on here now! http://tranceaudio.com/amuletm.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherofpearl Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Great Dan thanks. I'm think ill wait for that amulet mono seems like a great PU at a fair price. Where do you get them? Off the website? Good candidate for under bridge - like the K&K or the new Trance Amulet "M" (mono) that is coming out - surely will be less $$$ than the stereo version.
