Gibson J-45 vs. Taylor 517e Builder's Edition | Round-Shoulder Mahogany Dreadnought Showdown

You might be surprised that we have not done this comparison yet-- the reason is: we have never had these two in stock at the same time! Both of these guitars are great representations of the Spruce/Mahogany round-shouldered dreadnought, the J-45 being the reigning champ and the 517e being the "new kid on the block." Take a listen to both and let us know which one you like more!
