Time tested and regarded as one of the greatest flattops around, the J-45 is a workhorse guitar that has served players for decades. This example from 1950 is an exceptional example that suits the player's needs for a bold sounding and well playing instrument. There have been some repairs including a neck reset, cleated top crack, refret, replaced pickguard, replacement tuners and some small areas of touchup. It is a beautiful guitar with plenty of marks from age and years of playing. The J-45 continues to be a choice guitar for many different playing styles as well as players and collectors alike.
