The sound of an HD-28 compared to a J-45 is just so, so different I don't know where to start. The video and recording that someone else here has posted does not at all make it clear how really different they sound. Not only are they built with different woods, but, more importantly, the bracing and overall design is quite different
It's impossible to put these things into words. You really have to try a J-45 for yourself and you'll hear it immediately.
