Default Pre War Slope v J45 True Vintage

Are there any clips of a Pre War v J45 TV or Vintage? I always go back to my J45TV and I owned a banner for a short time. The TV came close and didnt have issues like the banner which was nice and why I kept it. But Im interested in the PW now.

Side note, a PW is $5k and a 50s J45 is close in price. Any insight?

Sorry I don't have any help in the differentials.
Yet I am back with a light, superb J45-TV.

Sold my solo singer songwriter TV years ago. It took 3 TV purchases to get the full dynamic range back that I once regrettably sold. Now I am set.

I will look forward to others helping you because the fatter neck Vintage is on my dream list.

We have a local customer that owns both.

The Pre-War is a lighter build, feather-light, with a quicker response and a huge sound. The Gibson is no slouch either, very pleasing and thumpy, but without the "on steroids" feeling of the Pre-War.

Out of context, both sound great. For some, might come down to subtleties of neck shape, nut, string spacing etc.

I figured they were close. Without having one to try it’s hard to buy ubseen.
