The best high end guitar under 3K

Gibson and its low price subsidiary Epiphone make several models with their signature sunburst top. Don't be fooled, they are NOT all equal. The Gibson J-45 is probably the most famous and popular of these models and is a fine guitar. The primary difference between the J-45 and the Advanced Jumbo is that the AJ has rosewood back and sides compared to mahogany for the J-45. This gives the AJ a much richer sound and the bottom end of a Martin while retaining the shimmering highs for which Gibson is best known. The guitar looks as beautiful as it sounds too. I know some people complain about the Gotoh tuners, but they have performed perfectly for me and my local luthier says they're fine. This is a rare guitar and harder to find than most Gibsons. If you don't believe me you can watch Steve Earle play "Folsom Prison Blues" with his AJ on YouTube!

I just bought this guitar today, and I must say it is awesome! The playability can't be beat, and the looks are killer! Gibson outdid themselves on quality too! I went in looking to buy a Martin and came out with this one.

I have played Bluegrass music for 40 years, mostly using Martin guitars. I bought the Adv. Jumbo in 03. Sitting between a barking mandolin and a 5 string RB250 banjo The Gibson Adv Jumbo will hold its own with the best of them. Perfect Bluegrass guitar.

Gibson Masterpiece
Posted by sanQ from Canada on Oct 25, 2008

I bought this guitar in 2005. I loved the way it looked and I wanted a Gibson all of my life. I looked high and low looking at all the different kinds of Gibsons out there. I never actually played one before I bought it. I ordered it and it came in and my father picked it up from the music store and all the guys who worked there were coming up to him and saying 'You are a lucky man.' This guitar had players drooling. People who try this guitar think it is the best they have ever played. It truly is a masterpiece. It looks fantastic, plays fantastic, and sounds fantastic. It is loud too! I have only played one other guitar better than this one and it was an old Martin that I played in Stockholm. But for a new instrument, this can't be beat. It is a little on the large side though as the neck is longer and it took some getting used to before I was comfortable with it like my other acoustics. Once you are used to that, it's a dream. I'm so happy with this guitar and when I look at it I am so happy! Thank you Gibson for making me a great one!
