Traditional build J-45 from Gibson’s acoustic facility in Bozeman, MT. Mahogany back, sides and neck, with Sitka Spruce top. Advanced, scalloped bracing. Traditional tobacco sunburst. Peghead veneer has Gibson logo decal at top, and black/white truss rod cover near nut. Fresh professional fretwork, and the frets look great. Rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot inlays. Cream bindings around top and back of body, with top edge showing black accent line. Soundhole has simple white/black/white rosette. Red tortoise pickguard. Rosewood reverse belly bridge with cream pins and intonated saddle. Under-the-saddle active pickup professionally installed. Volume thumb-wheel mounted inside soundhole edge. Nickel Grover Rotomatic tuners. Peghead suffered a crack some years ago, but was only repaired recently by a local experienced luthier. The repair looks great, but does show shrinkage line along the crack at one spot. This repair is guaranteed by us for 1 year. It would be nearly impossible to break this guitar at the same place again because of the experience of the luthier using the correct glue and clamping times. We offer 1 year warranty on the neck repair. The top has some minor dings from handling and playing, and also some polite finish checking. “C” profile neck.

This guitar sounds and plays very good. Nice, low action, powerful tone.
