  • Description: This guitar isn't a cannon, it's a howitzer. This is the loudest guitar I've ever owned. Big and boomy, it's just what you need to cut through almost anything. The headstock face and back of headstock is currently being refinished and the nut replaced and frets leveled by the great Dan Erlewine. The rest of the guitar may be a really old refinish. I was always a J45 guy but this blows away any J45 I've ever played. Very flamey on the back and a completely crack free spruce top. Original tuners, original mustache bridge, original guard-although its lifting a bit. Frets look to be original as well. Case is perfectly functional but is certainly not original.
