THIS OLD VINTAGE 1950 GIBSON J45 ACOUSTIC GUITAR IS AN AMAZING FIND. THE J-45 IS THE CADIALLAC OF FLAT TOP GUITARS. IN THE 50'S ERA THE J-45 IS AT THE TOP MAKES AND TO THIS DAY STILL STANDS THERE TODAY. A NEW GIBSON J-45 RETAILS FOR 2700.00 U.S, AND IN THE U.K 3800.00.
THE GUITAR IN FANTASTIC CONDITION, BUT DOES HAVE SOME COSMETIC BLEMISHES DUE TO IT'S AGE. ON THE FRONT THERE IS SOME SMALL KNOCKS MARKS. AROUND THE SOUND HOLE THERE IS MARKS FROM HONEST PLAY. ON THE BACK THERE IS DISCOLORATION, SOME MORE SMALL KNOCKS AND BLEMISHES. NOTHING MAJOR, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING IT'S AGE. FANTASTIC COLLECTOR'S GUITAR. THE GIBSON WAS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND LOOKED AFTER. I AQUIRED FROM MY GRANDFATHER'S FRIEND WHO WAS THE ONLY OWNER.
THE NECK IS NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE FRETS ARE GOOD. THE GUITAR PLAYS VERY WELL AND SOUNDS INCREDIBLE. WONDERFUL TONE.
I TOOK THE J-45 TO A RENOWNED LUTHIER SOUTH OF TORONTO AND HE WAS AMAZED WITH THE QUALITY AND HE SAID THE J-45 TERRIFIC SHAPE AND THESE GUITARS JUST KEEP CLIMBING VALUE. VERY SOUGHT AFTER.
FOR REFERENCE THE FACTORY ORDER # READS 657120. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING.
