I can't find anything about the Southern Jumbo on Gibson's website. :wank
Are these guitars exactly the same as the J-45s except for the cosmetic details (inlays and such)? Are there any structural differences, like bracing or scale length, or anything else that would affect tone or playability?
I have played a few of each, and it always seems to me that the SJs are warmer sounding than the J45s. Is this because of a structural difference, or is it all in my mind?
Also, what are the differences between the standard line, True Vintage and Legend series? I remember Gibson's old website stated this clearly, but I can't figure out what is different between them from the crappy new website. It amazes me that they charge twice as much for the Legend as the TV, but don't clearly tell you what you are paying for!
Thanks,
John
