First launched by Gibson in 1942, the J-45 standardized their slope shouldered jumbo design (their answer to Martin's dreadnought). With its no-frills spruce and mahogany construction and famous sunburst, the J-45 was nicknamed “The Workhorse” by players, and for good reason. This guitar can take just about anything you throw at it! Singer-songwriters have found the warm and balanced sound fits perfectly beneath vocals, and the short scale makes it a good fit for fingerpickers and strummers. But with its wide dynamic range, it handles flatpicking just as well. In contrast to the baseball bat necks of the earlier decade, this one has a slimmer, more modern C profile.
Repair history includes a replaced bridge and touch up around footprint of old bridge, replaced tuners, a repaired top crack, a repaired back crack, and overspray on back of neck. It sports some scattered dings across the top and back plus consistent crazing across the top, but that just adds to the vintage charm. Comes in a newer hardshell case.
