  • Description: Circa 1975 Gibson J-45 DELUXE in Dark Sunburst finish in overall good condition. Yes, this old J45 has its share of scars, but it's a great player and a really warm and wonderful sounding vintage Gibson. First of all, at some point a previous owner added a second pickguard which mirrors the original. It actually looks quite cool! Looks like a newer bridge, but it's a pro job and a correct looking bridge and saddle. There are numerous scratches, dings, and scars - this has been someone's player - but all the good ones are kinda beat! There is a crack repair to the mahogany back, you can see the cleats inside - but again, a pro job. Tuners have been changed - there are extra holes - and there are currently some good Kluson style reissues on there that work quite well. Some spots on the tortoise binding have started to crumble, but most of the binding is in good shape - fairly typical from this era. Serial number is a digit with Made in USA stamp, B003xxx - also a 2 stamp. The action is slightly high on this J45, but it's quite playable and does have a big, warm, full sound. She's got some bruises, but she's a great player guitar - has that nice 'broken in' feel. Call 859-261-5500 for an in hand description. Thanks!
