Vintage or New J45
The Gibson J45 guitars in the 1950s and 60s were made with laminated sides and some had laminated backs. The laminated sides guitars do not have the cloth or wood strips on the sides when you look in the guitar. The strips were to stop the sides from cracking. The newer J45 guitars have solid backs and sides. I owned a 1966 J50 which had laminated back and sides, it did not sound anywhere as good as my 1948 all solid Southern Jumbo. I have played some new Gibsons that sounded fantastic.

I love the sound of some vintage models and I love some new models. It all depends what one wants. Surely, I am not dropping $4X,XXX for no vintage guitar no matter how good the sound is.

I love the smell of a new guitar. Seriously.
