Yep, no worries. With my post, I was trying to say what Todd Yates said better. I will say that '46 J-45 are, to me, a better choice. They don't have the bump in price because of the banner, and I prefer the barely-smaller neck profile vs. most Banners I have played. I also love the sound - really nice, tight low end.

check for laminate maple back and sides. Those were more 44-45.
