The second responder said it...but...now I get to complain.

Gibson took a J-45 and just changed the finish...and changed the model number to J-50!

Then Gibson took a mahogany J-45, made one out of rosewood, and did they change the model number for that one...with a far, far more important change?

Noop!

Gibson is a little strange sometimes.

But two J-45s, a rosewood and a mahogany, would be a really nice couple of guitars to own and I am glad I have both.
