Description

This 1948 Gibson J-45 is a true gem with a fresh spruce top, ready to keep making music for years to come! The scalloped X-bracing ensures the top resonates like the original, and it’ll only grow warmer and more open with time. With a neck reset, refret, and refinish already done, it’s been lovingly brought back to life. Plus, if you’ve been dreaming of a J-45 with a Brazilian rosewood fretboard, this one is a fantastic choice!

Includes HSC.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
