Well, the Orpheum models in either 12 fret or 14 fret version as introduced one year ago are basically Guild's answer to this shape. Designed by Ren Ferguson himself. I know they are more expensive compared to that J15 "lowcost model" however...You will forget about Gibson after you played those Guild Orpheum models!Not saying Guild should build a J45 variant. More to the price & the fact that Guild could offer a variation on the standard theme.
The hog version sells for $2999 street price: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Guild-Orphe...ht-Acoustic-Guitar-Ren-Ferguson-/200973462567
The Rosewood version for $1000 more: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GUILD-CUSTO...E-SHOULDER-ROSEWOOD-DREADNOUGHT-/290926602838
