UTILIZATION

Broad handle very nice, (well not too late).

The guitar is very light and well balanced. It is very pleasant to take. I love the form "round shoulders".

Access to acute is dangerous beyond the 14th box, but it is not the purpose of this instrument.

The sound is immediately with this instrument. After we love where we do not like. The J45 has a very distinctive sound.

SOUNDS

Rather I play Jazz actually. But this guitar is more versatile than you might think, despite its "rural" side. If the game is a treat agreement, the melodic playing is not tamed but still gently.
In fact, I feel that it's very "roots" will probably (and hopefully) take me to unknown paths. It is a true delight. The singing treble, bass pretty amazing.
Given my profile melodic improviser, I tended to just abandon chording but I feel that I will soon return with this guitar.

The amplification is very good, I did not really expect because I bought this first acoustic guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 days, so I will leave a notice hot but I will complete later over my feelings.

I played before on a Jasmine TS-58C Jumbo. I tried many guitars before buying the D45, including Taylor (310, DN-4, 414ce ...) and also the Gibson Hummingbird and J200. It's funny but the "stars" from Gibson (J200 and hummingbird) did not see me as attractive as this J45 tested on the advice of the seller.

I had some reservations with the Taylor 310 (finally taking into account my budget) and much more comfortable to play and handle probably more versatile but I finally opted for the D45 has more personality.
It's a great guitar, a priori opposite my aesthetic orientations. Why I bought it? I do not have the answer to this question. But as soon as I start to play I do not see the time passing. I sound drunk she sings. I am unable to work with as soon as one puts his fingers over it is in pure Jouage, research, pleasure. Finally what is happiness ...

1800 euros new, it's expensive anyway for me because I had never slammed such a sum at once. Almost 20 years I do the guitar (with "shovels" 500 euros max) and I finally bought a "real" comes a point where you can not go back, while sparing as you are. ..
