I agree with you, they do vary but when you get a good one that old school vintage Gibson tone is hard to beat. I have to say your J-45-TV does sound soutstanding though. Always loved the two tunes you posted here in the past, magical tone.

The example you shared is lacking that real dry, woody articulation in the low end for my preferences, but I'm sure others dig it.
As zumaboy says "I've played a lot of J-45s, and it just depends..." — took the words right out of my mouth.
