Oh ya, cool...one I've actually tried, and liked a lot. That was before I had this criteria, but thinking back, it does fit. Plus it's on the cheaper side of my budget .

What's the difference between the SJ an J? I'm pretty sure the SJ200 is the newer one, but that's all I know. I've been wanting to try one forever, but like most of the guitars on my list, I've never seen it locally.

Wow. I’d love for a J45 to be on the cheaper side of my budget.

I’m still not sure what a “wooly”sounding guitar sounds like. Since this is the custom sub-forum. I’m curious if the luthiers who frequent here would understand what you meant if you asked them to build you a wooly sounding guitar. Can you point to a recording in which the guitar sounded wooly?

'It's a texture - the more aggressive aspect of 'silky'. I never associated 'wooly' with lack of clarity, but rather a more 'grainy' sound - not quite as smooth to the ears - a 'roughness'. This can either be a feature or a liability depending upon the circumstance.' |

Same here, in reality, budget should read credit card...and unless the guitar I choose opens up new dimension of sound and vision, it's getting returned after studio.

Also if you are looking for a studio guitar then an OM or OO are generally easier to record than a larger body. |

When Tim says. "Adi" he is referring to Eastern Red Spruce most often called Adirondack Spruce. It was used extensively by guitar manufactures before 1940ish (Pre-war.)
I slightly disagree that Sitka has more overtones than Adirondack, but would say that Adirondack has a bit more clarity. Each piece is different, so your milage my vary. I have no idea what wooly means referring to tone. I think I know what you mean when you say tight, but many adjectives relating to tone are subjective. Tight for example to means very quick attack and not a lot of sustain. (Both attack and sustain can be measured.) Someone else may refer to tight as have a very strong fundamental without a lot of overtones. (also measurable,) but a different than the first example It is romantic to use nice adjectives to describe tone, but one must be careful to make sure we are on the same page when using some of these terms. |

If you want dry , focused midrange and you want something like a cigar box guitar, an old Gibson LG-0 or B-15 all mahogany comes to mind. I had one for a bit and it definitely had loads of mid range and plenty of character. Not sure it's "wooly" but the other descriptors you used seem like a good match.
