Quinton is such a great player. He intentionally plays to bring out the full tonal range, dynamic response & compression of the guitars. That J45 is right in the sweet spot. Great finish too.

I really like this satin finish. But, the beauty of a high gloss Hummingbird is undeniable.

I really appreciate the editing in these videos; it is much easier to hear what the difference in sound is between any instrument demonstrated here. Nicely done.

I can't wait to play these in person. In a perfect world I would just buy all three

They all sound great!!! Great video, guys!!!😁📀💿🎉

Totally getting the j35.

Man, love me that J35

I previously viewed this video and rewatched it again tonight. This Faded Series from Gibson are really some beautiful guitars. I really like the sound and price point of the J35.

I like how Quintin classifies the bottom end as Growl. Awesome, that's exactly the sound you get from Gibson's Grrrr

To my ear.. the J45 is just right.

The J45 sounds awesome!

For a slope shoulder Gibson, I'll take the 35 over the 45, but for me I usually always prefer square shoulder dreads. I hope the pricing reflects the cost effective finishing (satin vs gloss).

Absolutely correct about playing the lead to the “ forbidden song” …. Nice choice!

Great to see that the J35 is back with an affordable price point! I have one from 2018 with a glossy top, and it is my main guitar. So far, I did not dare to take it outside because since it had been discontinued, it was hard to get it replaced in case something bad happened to it. But honestly, Quinton should not bang on it as if it was a Martin dreadnaught! This guitar is a dream for people who are interested in playing fingerstyle but still want a bigger guitar. It is very open sounding, as opposed to the warmer and woodier J45. The highs can be very mellow with a beautiful, slightly nasal tone when fingerpicked. But when strummed, it can sound a bit harsh - for this, there are better choices IMHO. The base is somehow dry. If you have not (perfectly) mastered palm muting in Travis picking yet, you can still get a fairly punchy base out of it. The Gibson coated phosphor bronze strings are not the best choice for a J35, too warm. I think Elixirs accentuate the characteristic of the J35 better. I hope Gibson will keep it in production for good. The name J35 indicates that it was something lesser than a J45 which is not true at all. So, the salespersons will have to work for this guitar a bit. They need to know where this guitar excels and what kind of customers might be interested in it.

The J-35 has advanced jumbo bracing in a shorter scale which makes it such an awesome guitar imo

The Hummingbird sounds nice, but I think you have me thinking about a Martin super D. Have to get there to try one.

Awesome! it would be great to compare these with the glossy coated ones to see if there's a noticeable difference in sound besides the costs.

Hope they do the L00, or LG2 in this series.

I feel the J-35 plays and sounds better than the standard J-45, at least to me. I’ve played both and J-35 wins.

That 35 is sweet...the 45 looks awesome though!

Nice Crocs.

Gosh Damn Quinton!!! You can play, boy!

35 for me

Nice guitars, That J35 looks exactly like my Eastman E1SS, same pickguard, same finish, half the price......

Important to know what strings are on them? please.

The J45 wins. Sounds incredible!

Love this version. Still sad every model has an UST.

I prefer a full nitro clear coat. It breaks down/ages over time and does something to a guitar you can't replicate

I must become a bank robber so I can have one of each...

It is really funny seeing those comments ‘but it is not just a Martin’. I must say that I was in the past more disappointed by a Martin that came through my door than by a Gibson. The factory setup from Martin is often a nuisance with its constantly to high action or in one case the high E string on a D41 simply was too close to the edge of the fretboard. For Martin like guitars I probably would prefer one of the strong boutique brands (Collings, Bourgeois etc.). However haven’t had from those brands an as-good-as take on a Gibson. It almost seems that they put in Bozeman some secret sauce into the build of these instruments. Just play a J 185 and will know what I mean.

I like the Hummingbird the most

In the e electric line the faded was always cheaper. Is this cheaper than the original series?

Is the BODY DEPTH smaller on the Gibson hummingbird faded than on the standard hummingbird? Thanks

They should start semi-glossing the satin finishes .

What is the brace pattern of the j35? Like for sure, seems to be conflicting info here.

They all sound awesome, but that J-45 has something just a little bit extra…

Is it all solidwood construction?

J35 is longer scale length than the J45?

All fine and good ,are they still using plastic nuts and saddles ? For that price I will buy something else .

That burst is nasty. They can keep the electronics too. I don’t see the appeal comparing this J-45 to the standard, when the standard is only $350 more and looks way better. Why not just do the satin finish on the actual nice sunburst?

I like what you 2 are doing here but kinda miss seeing Tony here, he is different on his show

More Satin guitars………..#SaveTheNitro

If an acoustic guitar does not sound woody, it is a bad guitar. There are many good guitars out there.

Can't help wondering if Gibson are just doing this to save money. The fading look a bit anaemic rather than looking aged or 'vintage'.

They all sound terribly tinny to me...

Only a j45 is good enough！

The price should be lower.

Great vid great playing but I’m sorry men but it’s just not a Martin

Gibson site is crashing today.

I`m not very excited. "Faded" means, Gibson save money and sell them for a glossy price. In addition to that they look cheap to me.

thin and bright...tinny...the electric versions arent much better...you get what you pay for folks

Gibson "lite" .....with a Taylor 214ce spin!.. No thanks!

Do you think the woody tone is due to the fact they are made from wood.😮

I like how Quintin classifies the bottom end as Growl. Awesome, that's exactly the sound you get from Gibson's Grrrr
