It was a very surprising day when I finally realized that I hated rosewood guitars... all the Internet loves to exclaim their huge tone and I spent thousands and thousands wondering why none of them sounded good...then I played a j45 standard and turned it over to find that sweet, lightweight, punchy, clean beauty that is mahogany. The sound I had been searching for all along was cheaper, lighter and the one few people talked about.
I totally disagree. The. Rosewood guitar absolutely sounds better.
@@randytausch3519 ok 🤣👍
@@joelcrow interesting. I agree, but for different reasons. I always loved rosewood, but because I thought it was a superior kind of wood...as a woodworker it kind of is. But, from everyone I've spoken to, they all rave about mahogany guitars. I was always turned off by how folks would say that they sounded "dry" with strong fundamentals, and little overtones. For my kind of playing I love overtones, however I also understand how they can also get in the way when you play different genres. That Being said, I have a custom shop Martin "D-18, with mahogany back and sides, and it is LUSH, loads of overtones. I love it because it has a strong midrange and deep growl, so it really projects a lot. So I've deviated from liking rosewood guitars. I now understand that it really comes down to the genre you play will be aided by the woods used, but this just generally speaking; each guitar has it's unique voice. Rosewoods tend to have mids scooped, both bassy and tinny, where mahogany sacrifices some bass and highs, but the mids are strong, which the human ear picks up better, and interestingly makes the guitar appear to be "louder", that's when I said, yup, I like mahogany now.
Nope ...I strongly agree. Rosewood D28 v D18. D18 blew rosewood away. Never get rosewood ever....ever.
I've noticed that Pete plays more over the sound hole or towards the bottom, while Mick plays from the bottom of the sound hole and more towards the bridge. This in its' self will make a difference in the sound of the two guitars. They could play the exact same guitar, and it would sound different just because of this. I'm sure it's not intentional, but it is what it is.Otherwise, great job guys. Love it!
Always my favourite show on Andertons, great guitars, great playing and great content.
You guys are awesome! Y'all do a great job jamming, naturally, and especially showcasing the instruments. Love the series!
Please can you make these videos 4 hours long! Such wonderful playing from both, I could listen to this all day long.
I have j45 standard and its perfect, so inspiring instrument
Just got a custom Gibson J45.
Have a Martin OM 28.
Same woods, different companies, and different sizes.
Both excellent.
Will keep playing and comparing.
Will keep the preferred one.
Best sounding acoustic guitar demo I've heard in ages. Those mics sound killer. Great job
Love the playing. I wish I knew more about the guitarists. Amazing sounding guitars, and amazing players. Thanks guys!
My ears like mahogany, my eyes like Rosewood..
You guys are fantastic. Keep on doing these acoustic demos.
I could listen to that ending jam all day long! what a show! Well done Mick and Pete! Paradiso indeed....
Just bought a 2017 J45 (Standard) It’s amazing. Such an inspiring guitar. Quality
Love my 2017 too! Helluva box.
Really good personalities for a guitar channel. Keep up the good work!
Love these videos and love these J-45s. So glad you just kept to the mics this time. Can you guys do J-15 vs J-45 sometime??
What a fantastic demo by you guys...I enjoy so much.Thank you .
Wow~ after hearing this video I can't wait to get one from a near by stall~
Oh boys! Another fantastic episode. I really really wand a Gibson acoustic more than ever. Between this video and the last Gibson video my mouth is watering for one.
I wish the pair of you would do an acoustic album together. As ever beautiful playing guys. :-) :-)
Mal
Absolutely fantastic! Love the history bits, playing, and humor too.Please keep making these acoustic vids!
Nice review and performance!! I own rosewood back/sides and love it. I still love rosewood of high and low end beautiful tone, but I wanna mahogany one next time.
my 2016 j45 Custom is a great guitar....you guys are brilliant and did a great job of showing off the best of both of these guitars. the more i listen to the standard the more i like it ...my custom has brighter bass and treble but its not always what you want in subdued subtle playing.
Wonderful playing! Wonderful guitars! I have the custom in rosewood and I love it! This is one of my favourite channels. You guys are great!
The gibson j45 custom 2016 is very good. Now these days they use richlite fretboard.
@@wilfredvandeflat1050 rIChLiTE bAd! Richlite is more expensive, longer lasting, makes no tonal difference, and is environmentally friendly you sheep
Good video as always, love the background information as well as the playing. J45's great shape and sound especially for recording, finger picking you hear the difference between the 2 for sure. More guitar I have to save up for ....
I've got a 2015 J-45 Modern Classic in black. BEAUTIFUL instrument. I use it on ALL of my acoustic recordings. Mic it with a neumann TLM 103 and a pen mic, with a direct in to my DAW. Fantastic. Gold hardware, made at the custom shop. They increased the price after I bought it. I definitely lucked out. I highly recommend them if you can find one. Love the video's!
Thanks for uploading, I was falling asleep but the notification for a new video woke me up xD
Just back from my trip to Memphis...... while inside the Gibson factory on Beale St, I had to purchase a J-45 Standard......... Best Guitar I have ever owned by a country mile!!!!!!
Ok Picked the guitar up in my music room totally in love with the sound, interestingly i have been playing along as best i can and the sound of the guitar is identical to the recorded sound put out by Mick and Pete so sound guy well done this is a very true representation of the sound of the guitar ( the Standard that is )
Thanks guys great show.
Yeah I was playing along as well, Am,C,Dm,G, nice progression only my solos not quite as smooth and sweet
another flawless video,well done chaps!!!
Love it - great video and playing. It’s nice to hear them both at once
You guys really complement each other very well, some real talent.
I have a J45 custom 2017! Stunning guitar!
I bought a 2016 J45 recently,The shop i bought it from has assured me it has the 2016 spec even though it hasn't got 2016 written on the truss rod cover?Great review lad's.
woody Guthrie, buddy holly, donovan, Bob Dylan, james taylor, Jackson Brown, Chris Stapleton, John Hiatt, Lightnin Hopkins, David Gilmour, John Renbourne . Dave Van Ronk and so many others. My favorite too
Great video guys! IMHO I think the J-45 std sounds deeper, darker. Nice warm vibe to it that I like better personally. I love a dark/warm acoustic guitar sounds
There was a flawless J-45 custom in a shop near me last year at a steal of a price but I couldn't afford it at the time. Amazing guitars.
Hard to beat a good workhorse j45. I bought a standard brand new at GC in 2017 and it has inspired so many great ideas, riffs, and songs! Not to mention the J45 is considered to be the most recorded acoustic of all time. A real bond! Love it.
Thanks Mick and Pete lucky me is going to the big boys sweet shop to buy a Standard that I tried yesterday 😬😬😬👍🏻🎸
Wow there's a noticeable difference between the two; the standard has that brash, in your face sound, whilst the custom is a bit more subdued.
I love the J45 Gibsons.
excellent episode and show!
Awesome video guys!!! I love this channel!
I love all the background info you give on guitars. And Danish Pete can flat ass play!!!
Thanks for a great review
I just purchased a J45 Standard
me too
me too!
I want the rosewood j45
Me too😍
I like the custom more.
Mahogany is miles better to me. Absolutely love the standard and I can really see myself owning one of these. Stunning tone. They sound great fingerpicked too.
Wonderful job, guys! I'd love to see some Yamaha action on the show, acoustics or electrics.. Something like an "L series shootout" would be great.
Really Missing these two guys demos on Andertons Paradiso would be special to see them back for a show..PLEASE
The Standard wins this shootout
The J-45 standard just has a cool edgy sound about it. All the strings have an equal presence and separation. The only way to create a scoop midrange is in your hands.
Thats why so many players use them Id suspect.
Everyone can get their own personality out of the even eq platform it provides.
Making the player uniquely interesting to the listener and themselves.
Fantastic playing, especially the jam out track. Is it possible to do a video about a J-185? Maybe compared to a J-200 and J-45? Thanks a lot guys! Please keep it up!
J45 is my favorite acoustic ever... I have a J15 now, and it does the job admirably well, but this is my dream acoustic.
I was fortunate enough to inherit my dad's 1952 J-45. It's tough playing other acoustics. It's pretty beat up and has seen many miles of road but plays like butter. A customer brought it into his store in a garbage bag during a thunderstorm. My parents had just opened a music store and didn't have a lot of money at the time and they offered him 300 and he said "Thanks but no thank you". He then went to leave, saw the rain pouring down and changed his mind, fearing it'd get ruined in the thunderstorm. Pretty lucky
Mike Rosenberg from Passanger plays a j45. on the video "Let her go" sounds great and looks cool. The j45 belongs in all guitar quivers.
This is such a joy to watch
I own one of each and both are great. Just depends on if you want the Mahogony or the Rosewood sound.
At 20.10 sounds like Cat Stevens "Farther & son" i wish you would play that !
Great video guys, you 2 are great !!
What strings do you recommend for the standard Phosphor bronze or 80/20 elixir ?
Nothing records better. Live a Martin D-28 is a monster but recording it can be a real challenge. The J-45 is just easier to record, thus the most recorded guitar. Russ Barenberg (bluegrass player), plays a war era one with a laminated maple back and sides.
Hi there is a few words from my side. I have been watching here in youtube for the sound of acoustic guitars. 2 years ago first time as a beginner, I liked Martin as I went on watching almost a year and I got to play Martin D28, HD28, OM28, OOO28 etc but my experience of playing with these guitars, was not appealing to me at all, rather frustrated. Then I picked up Taylor 814CE Deluxe and suddenly I started liking its sound and feel of playing on it, specially the feel of the comfortable neck and also, the typical mellowed sound. Anyway, it's almost 1 year ago but these days, I had the feeling that I should own one J45 nice sunburst from Gibson as its sound is very exceptionally pleasing to my own ears as I listened to each play on J45 standard with Mahogany as there is no Chime as many other high end acoustic guitars used to have. That's the bottomeline and I look forward to play on it myself and hopefully buy it on the pandemic settles down.
What are the names of the James Taylor pieces quoted from in the video, please? They sounded lovely on this week's instruments!
I love my j45 vintage burst such a beautiful warm tone.
I have discovered the reason the guitars always sound different when the two of you wonderful men play guitars together.
Go to 14:30
Pete picks closer to the sound hole.
Mick picks closer to the bridge.
Finally!
Mick is a great acoustic player
Absolutely beautiful...
great video. high quality in every meaning.
J45 Standard and I do love the jam at the end
What is the Joey Landreth song at 15:30. What tuning? Open D?
also duff mckagan izzy stradlin and slash are playing j45s and obviously many more
Please do a comparison of Martin 00 and Gibson L-00 12 fret guitars.
I am surprised, I found the standard to have a better overall sound. The only J-45 standard I've played was at my local music shop had worn out strings, so I couldn't give a good comparison.
j15 gibson acoustic vs a Gibson Hummingbird acoustic can you do video so see i can spot any difference
Nice video, thank you. Great A/B check. Like most, I prefer the mahogany J45 standard. For me, Gibson have never really succeeded with Rosewood the way that Martin have - they seem to just add it for "bling" and the deeper part of the sound that r/wood adds is a bit late and somewhat vague on such of their guitars that I've tried. That said, I love the mahogany Js and I have a Gibson J35 - it's like a 45 or 50 but has the bracing of the Advanced Jumbo, a more "open" sound, a "player's" guitar rather than accompaniment - it's also substantially cheaper than a J45 or the Advanced Jumbo.
Nice, nice video.
You don't typically hear that acoustics with scalloped bracing having clear note separation. Scalloped bracing typically produces overtones which is like a chorus effect. But scalloped bracing over mahogany does this....circa the Martin D18GE and the 000-18GE. And someone who is a Martin snob - these J45's have their own tone that is really good - when you find a good one.
I think these are my favorite type of dreadnought. Although I didn't like every J-45 I have played, I know how good a good one sounds. :)
Lovely playing and some nice gags too.
great again! MICK, HELLO!
so you do these acoustic shows but what exactly do you guys play and why?
What song was Mick playing around 16-17 minutes?
My dream acoustic guitar. Custom J45
could you please tell me the chords of the intro?
Two great guitars! I would prefer the rosewood I think (it's a hard choice).
The Gibson J-160E (Beatles) this guitar is quite different from the j45, although the shape, the body and the scale was the same tone woods, the bracing was different. on top the top was laminated, by the tablet and other mounted controls. the pick up was practically a p90, without the soap cover.
The standard just has the magic 🪄
What strings are on them ?
The Hog is definitely more string separated and compressed, forward and focused. The Custom warmer, blended chords with more harmonics. Horses for courses, great guitars.
As someone who has never owned an acoustic and is pretty unlikely to get one anytime soon, I still make a point of watching these shows, just excellent entertainment.Get home from work and grab a large mug of coffee feet up and relax to Acoustic paradise...chillout time.Keep up the great work guys.
I bought the standard new in 2020 and thought I may be disappointed when I saw this video. I'm not. I do love the deluxe but I have two rosewood martins the hd-28 and d-35. They don't get played as much lately. I play mostly at church and rotate but I cheat sometimes and the j-45 may get two Sundays in a row.
what was he playing at 8:30
I have a J 45 Custom.
I think both sound very very similar. Hard to know if you don't play them personally..
I want a J45 but also like the Martin D18.
Hard choice.
Great video, I prefer the Standard.
which song is at 13:25? please!
You should compare and review the new g series
I couldn't get my Hummingbird on EBay fast enough so I could buy a J45. The bird just didn't do it for me.
Tim O'Brien frequently uses a J50 to play bluegrass. I get the association with power bluegrass (as volume can be extremely important), but some very well-respected bluegrass players use J45s, especially in context where there are multiple instruments involved - it's just another sound at their disposal.
What strings does the standard come with? I recently changed my J45 to elixir nanoweb custom lights and I rly want to change them back to the stock strings. Thanks in advance!
Gibson Masterbuilt Bronze.
You guys are awesome.
Rosewood always has a more classical guitar sound to my ear , I found the same to be true with the D28 , def, more of a mahogany fan. Analyzing what it is , perhaps the woody boom 💥
i f**kn love these guys!
can you compare a Gibson humming bird and a Gibson humming bird pro
Standard for the win. Made me finally commit to one.
Mick plays closer to the bridge Pete closer to the sound hole , this makes a big difference in sound , both guitars sound beautiful
I laughed harder at the Adams family "hand" joke than I probably should have...I was not expecting that visual. haha
Nice for both ones
Ralph McTell's favourite guitar is a 1952 Gibson J-50 that he records and tours with..........His is the best acoustic I've ever heard for fingerstyle
what song? 13:24
