UTILIZATION
Ergonomic handle and almost perfect, which is dcisif in my case given the small size of my hands.
The handle of the rosewood is a MODEL in the type hyper easy to play. The silent action lgrement higher than my other guitars but a lightweight APRS rglage when purchasing, the diffrence is now minimal. Likewise I did install the strings Martin SP Custom Light 011-052, so it is easier to play.
The guitar is slightly smaller than a dreadnought, lgre balance and well in hand, really enjoyable trs.
Obviously it is not made to play 14 or 15me fret, no cutaway.
The varnish of the handle is smooth hand and allows dcente on velvet.
The handle seems to rev fine and allows all of the same precision of a fairly large game, it is also short plutt really IDAL for small hands.
SOUNDS
As I said I did install the strings Martin SP Custom Light 011-052, I feared that these strings, fairly thin, modify and altrent sound but I think it's barely noticeable (n anmoins I'll have to try it with other strings). The sound is so good that even with the strings, there is nothing to say, without doubt, it should give more to other strings, certainly more serious, but even like that, it ' dj is beautiful.
And to think it will still improve over the years!
What can I say? It is perfect in rhythm, probably his strong point, but it is also well arpges or picking, in any case my level because I'm not an expert in this area and has many prsence and projection, it projects a warm load and low mdiums ask that that be rvler over the years.
I do find it extremely moves away from my Martin D28 but softer, probably with more shine, too, even if I like the D28 which I find the sound more matte.
Finally it is quite versatile, with a deep (some think this is the spirit of the first Ben Harper), prcis (the sound balance is impeccable), and the rosewood gives it a rich grain .
I almost forgot to mention the ct electro-acoustic because I play plutt without plugging, but in my Schertler Unico branch, it still sounds magnificent, the microphone does not change the characters of guitar. Finally the fact that one can not rgler that the volume (at the rosette) ESG me absolutely not, gnral, the electro-acoustic guitars other I put all twelve o'clock and I only change my trs little from his guitar, prfrant sculpt my sound on the amp directly or via an equalizer.
OVERALL OPINION
Bought just three days ago and I want to talk about dj, yet with this type of guitar it is necessary to wait for it gnral Mrissa a bit. When I bought I n'tais no input in the store for that, I did not even pens. For years my choice dlibrement Martin acoustic silent (without being allergic to Gibson because I have electric), all Gibson acoustic that I had tried for me u probably too new and it seemed he really had to climb in prices to close to ecstasy.
This time I wanted to try in the store because there were 2 of J45 MODELS: the standard (mahogany) and rosewood. I know that the choice between these two guitars is a long polmiques about so I wanted to try them (even if this type of trial is always a bit random image, even two identical guitars may seem diffrent, each as particulire): I think between the two: first, they are all but approximately 2 gniales diffrent:
the standard is mahogany wood, with charm and the sound duller (but guitar still new!), more vintage while the Rosewood is bright, dynamic and modern, ultimately more versatile, and I t sduit IMMEDIATE exactly what I wanted for a long time without suspecting that this guitar c'tait-l.
This is how we ruin s'tait when we promised not to buy a guitar for a while! When I think it will "open" and will be better year after year, sometimes it reassuring to age, it promises a good time for later
Update: After a few months to play my J45 rosewood I attach so this guitar that I wanted to try again the standard J45 (mahogany), and I also fell for the -l initem to buy it to sell my Martin D28 (which is great but a scraper with a handle for me at least, including the tune): here I rsolu the conflict between those who prf Rosewood andTHE rent the proponents of laStandard: now that I have the 2 I doisavouer hard as I make my choice, they are super complmentaires with sound significantly diff Annuities
(Globalementle sound of the rosewood is softer with more bass, while the standard is more mdiums and treble and volume or projection, very practical in acoustics including arpges or picking),
and in addition with sleeves almost identical (only one diffrence key: bne to larosewood against Rosewood for the Standard) so that you can pass a piece the other by changing of the type of guitar sound sought-Enaya the impression of playing on the same scratch. Obviously this requires a budget consquent (to have 2) but when anne anne APRS has accumulated a lot of instruments, if you have the couragede Sparer is a (not empty for the D28) it can be done inexpensively.
