So Im confused. Why do some have them and some dont Do you think if I ordered one from musiciansfriend and it came with the fishman, I could send it back since their site says it comes with the LR baggs Thanks for your help.quote.

Im trying to decide between a Songwriter Deluxe and a J45 Rosewood.

Everyone Ive ever played has had the electronics on the side.

But, according to musiciansfriend, they have LR Baggs pickup with the in hole volume.

So I thought maybe only newer models had the LR Baggs (and no side EQ).

But, I saw on this board that someone posted a picture of an 08 model that had the EQ on the side still.

Then, I went to look at sweetwater, and the guitar they have does not have the side EQ (guitar can be viewed here: ).

My 2006 12 string has no electrics on the side just a volume control which is soundhole mounted.

To add to what is now OUR confusion I have never seen a SWD with side EQ.

Everyone Ive ever played in guitar centers is like that and Ive been to three or four maybe.

The reason I want one without that is cause I have an LR Baggs M1 in my current acoustic (tacoma DR20).

I really like the looks of the J45, but the Songwriter seems brighter too me, and I like that.

I just went to guitar center a couple of days ago and all they had were cutaways (which I dont want).

So now Im wondering if I ever did play a non-cutaway with it or not.

Any way. Thanks for your help.

But date according to musiciansfriend, they have LR Baggs pickup with the in hole volume.
