What’s a “GOOD” J-45

What's a good J-45?

Mine ��

Someone already described the tone quite well:

"Clear,sparkly but not brittle highs.
Sweet sounding balance in the mids.
Pronounced but not muddy on the bottom."

Silly -- Sounds like you're recommending buying a guitar that doesn't sound good, and to get to work on making it sound good.

A bit risky, no?

This one is a good one.Go to around 1:25 on the timeline to hear it.
Remember, it’s brand spankin’ new and trust me, it will sound even better as time goes on.
Listen through good speakers or headphones and turn it up.
