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 look and famous sunburst, the J-45 has long been nicknamed “The Workhorse” by players, and for good reason. This guitar can take just about anything you throw at it. From simple strumming to fingerstyle and flatpicking, the J-45 can cover it. The guitar has long been favored by singer-songwriters, as its mellow sound fits perfectly beneath vocals. It features a Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and "baseball bat" mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard and bridge, simple MOP dot inlays, and the later post-war gold "Gibson" block logo on the headstock.

This example is a fantastic player and has mojo to spare! The following repairs have been done to this instrument in order to give it a new lease on life: re-glued back strip, re-glued bridge plate, refret, new nut, filled fingerboard divots, footprint of from previously installed "MITCHELL" decal on top.

HSC included.
