Description

Exceptional sounding 1953 Gibson J45 in it’s original sunburst finish. Slope shoulder, small guard, spruce top with mahogany back and sides. This example has some repaired top cracks and a decent amount of finish wear on the face of the guitar. Surprisingly the back and sides of this guitar are exceptionally clean. Generally we would think back refin, but the back and sides blacklight bright and evenly with the rest of the guitar. This J45 has recently been given a professional neck reset and has nice and low action with lots of room left on the saddle to come down if you wish. Plays and sounds fantastic and comes with a modern hardshell case.
