Lol, if you say so. J-45s are all about projection bud. Volume and projection are different things, and while the jumbo has more frequency range, the J-45 has that mid punch for which it was designed, that allows it to fire like a cannon.
No freakin way man.I'm not knocking your J-45. I dream of owning that guitar its a dream of a acoustic and somthing to be very prousd of..but to put a it up against a Big Bertha like a J-200 Rosewood(let alone maple) is plain ignorance.
If we are talking frequency range dude, sure, but I don't think we are talking about the same thing. Of course a jumbo is going to produce more frequencies at both ends of the spectrum, resulting in a different kind of perceptible volume, but in a different way than a J-45. The J-45 is all mids, that's why I bought it. I have a very, very busy bass player and drummer, so I need to cut with projection. Same thing with my Les Paul through the Mesa. When I strum, I need to be able to stand out, with that big focused mid-range projection, that a mahogany dread produces.
But see, that's why they make a bunch of different models... caus we hear differently. I suppose that's the beauty of it.
