If you've always wanted a vintage J-45 in your arsenal, take a gander at this 1953 Gibson J-45. There have been a number of repairs and modifications, including new Waverly tuners, a re-fret, a newer Bone nut and saddle, and an internal K&K pickup installed. See SPECS below for more details.
Condition is Good given the age of the instrument, but it has been played a lot over the years and has the wear and tear you'd expect. Lots of pick wear around the sound hole which we often see with instruments that have been a musician's number one performing guitar.
This guitar has been inspected and set up in-house by our skilled Guitar Tech. If you're interested in purchasing this vintage instrument, please feel free to call us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have.
