Description

J45s are a songwriters best friend. It's one of the most suggested "if you can only have one guitar" models. The perfect Gibson acoustic hunt also requires consideration for neck shape, and this one is great for those that like a little beef but don't mind a slimmer nut width. This example was refinished, but it is very tasteful and of its original time frame. It retains its original logo'd white screw down pickguard, which means it was originally one of the rarer wine red J45s. This one has also not undergone a fixed saddle conversion, and is still with the rosewood saddle. It had a neck reset at one time, the heel was repaired, and top cracks were glued before this process. Much of the music we have come to love was played on these guitars. All in all, this is a styling J-45.

Comes with hardshell case.
