J45 or J160E

[Vern H]

Hi all from a newbie,

I'm in the market for a new acoustic and am trying to decide between these two. Are these similar size guitars? What are the main differences aside from the electronics? I should add that I LOVE the Beatles but am intrigued by the J45. I haven't played either yet, hopefully very soon if I can find them in stock in the Chicago area.

Thanks!

I love the J45, great all-around guitar (strumer and a fingerpicker) plus the added electronics. The reissue J160e may not be what you expect of a acoustic, when unplugged, so I would advise you definitly try one first. I believe most not have a real spruce top so it's not the best sounding when unplugged.
