MODEL Rosewood

at all points like the J-45, except wood, mechanical (groove), fishman preamp

UTILIZATION

Use: as the J-45 standard. Channel perfect, good body balance gnral ..

SOUNDS

The cata! see below

OVERALL OPINION

Hsitant between a J-45 standard (mahogany) and a J-45-R (rosewood, rosewood), I finally took the time to test all these people ... This also allowed me to miss a superb standard J-45 ;-)

So that is it worth a little more luxurious MODEL J-45.

Recall first of Difference

made from used wood (rosewood instead of mahogany for the table), there are mcaniques groove and a "real" srigraphie on the head

I rjouissais Rosewood MODEL to test this, but I fall down

TRS same high ...

if the grip silent friendly, the first arrangement initiated I believe my eyes or rather my ears ...

I had the impression of having left the earplugs in my ears

trs sound is soft, but do not "sort" not ... that's what I liked in the J-45 standard, ct explodes in sound. The nothing, you have to play slowly to hear the treble. The sound is well rounded but of course I got far too dull

I cot me to test another gibson: trs not known the Cascade LC-1 and another unknown brand in a copy of Blueridge D-45

quick comparison:

the cascade has a much better against her by the volume is much lower (CEST form of mini-jumbo) and its purpose is to be played Plugge pure sound .. Also great as I tend to think I had a toy in the hands ... I had brief test dj acoustic (great sound), but I deprecated to play pure acoustic (no branch) and the grown-ups

the Blueridge: brand I had never heard of ... Well, despite the head of this guitar that I find horrible, we must recognize that the sound is really good. Overall quality than the correct ...

Verdict: j'achte nothing, I wait one month that the J-45 comes standard (2 months to control a scratching at Gibson, fun ;-(

The rosewood of my still good. It marpondu that it was giving her time (about 2 years) to open. DSOL I do not want to "wait" two years ;-) Better to buy the MODEL and possibly change the standard mcaniques if they do s'avraient not practical because the rest of the guitar is similar in all respects the J45 standard ...

I put a 2 because I do not see the usefulness of this model which is intended to be suprieur standard but that is really far ... trs (I speak as well sr, but is essential when the same right?)
