Epiphone Aj-45 - El-00
I got the bug again...
I want an acoustic to beat around on the porch this summer, forget it outside over night by the hammock etc.. always wanted a Gibsonish type acoustic... sooo..
I finally narrowed it down to two of them and was wondering if anyone here has first hand knowledge on either?
Epiphone Limited Edition 1963 AJ-45 $299.00
This is a full Dreadnought type with soft shoulders and a solid spruce top.. I assume it's voiced like it's big brother from Gibson and would be a good all around guitar. Being a limited model, I assume I don't have much time to waste on this one.. But at the same time I wonder if I will try to baby it due to the fact its a limited? whatcha Think?

Epiphone El-00 $349.00
This one takes you back to the parlors and the 1930's.. leaning on the design of the old Gibson L-00, comes with a solid spruce top. Seems to get some good reviews online for the tone. The widest part is larger than the L-00 and they say it has some bass, but not like a full size Dread. I am thinking this is the size for knocking around outside with.. and some old blues and ragtime sounds.. whatcha think?
