I have a '96 J45 that has already weather checked.

It is the most awesome acoustic I have ever recorded. I also had a 1971 Martin
D-35 that the J45 blew out of my life.

wow we agree on something. absolutely. i have a gibson endorsement
(among others) and i get to use a lot of loaners and the best one from
gibson was the j-45 . i've also used the new hummingbirds and an sj-185
(it's kind of like a cutdown jumbo with a cutaway and killer
electronics) and it was a very nice guitar too although very bright in
the taylor tradition. but here's the capper. have you tried some of the
new epiphone acoustics? amazing guitars for the money. i have an epi
version of a j-45 with a cutaway and electronics that is the most in
tune acoustic i've ever owned and it sounds good too. beleive me i've
owned martins (m-038 and d-12-35) and custom guitars (loprinzi) and i
have some seagulls as well (another great company that makes beautiful
and afordable guitars) but the new gibsons are very nice.
