This 1948 J-45 is an incredible instrument in amazing shape for nearing 80 years of age. It has remarkable playability and the well-loved warm tone you can truly only find in an old Gibson. Cosmetically, it has some strum wear and sporadic nicks and scrapes throughout the body, typical of age, but it remains crack free. The heel has been repaired from some damage and it's had a neck reset. Additionally, it's benefitted from an X brace reglue, bridge pin saver, refret, and a bridge reglue. Additionally, the nut, tuners and bridge pins have been replaced. 60s era Gibson tuners are included in the case.

Includes modern tweed hard shell case.
