Nice collection! Is there a great difference in tone and feel between the 3 Jumbos?

[knight_lite_1974]

Thank you kindly.  It's pretty hard to define the differences in sound between the J-05 and J-09.  Suffice to say, the 05 has a mellow, almost subtle tone to it.  Seems more ideally suited to rythm and flatpick strumming work.  The 09 has a more projected, slightly brighter tone, with more string to string seperation and definition.  Seems more ideally suited to lead and fingerstyle work...arpeggios and the like.  The Washburn (Spruce top with Quilted Maple back and sides) is a bright and sparkly sounding guitar.  The b/s on this one are laminate, but it still puts out quite a sweet sound.  Personally, I think it's one of, if not the best guitar out there, in the $500 or so price range.  Having said all that, I think the overlap between these instruments is significant, and I don't think either of them would be inefficient in any of the applications I've mentioned.  Ultimately, as we all know...it's all just such a very subjective and personal thing.
