Plainsman Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I've had my 2003 J45 for 2 years now and it is definately my favorite guitar. I've bought and sold several others, electrics included, and realize now that all I really need is the J45. I would like a knock around guitar that feels similar to the J45 though. Something that I can play fingerstyle quietly while the kids sleep. Something that I don't have to worry about my toddler smashing. I've bought him a little 1/2 size guitar, which he drags around with him everywhere, but he knows it does not sound like my guitar and so wants to play mine whenever I get it out. I end up more and more keeping it in the case in the closet. I'd like something with the same scale and a similar neck and feel to the J45, and something cheap. Will the Epi EL-00 do it for me, or can anyone reccomend something else? I also just realized the Seagull S6 has a similar scale and nut width to the J45. It's even sort of slope shouldered. I can probably find one of those used, anyone have experience with them? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I have an Epiphone AJ type model that I like, but its long scale. I'd think a short-scale Epi would be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood why Epiphone doesn't make a version of the J45. Seeems like such a popular guitar I'd think a cheaper version would be a huge seller. I know Epi has done limited edition J45s, and when they turn up used anywhere they sell almost instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
