This 2011 J-45 True Vintage has all the attributes as when it left the Boseman factory (Adirondack sound board, Banner headstock, forward shifted scalloped bracing) plus some additional improvements. I had the bridge slotted for solid acoustic pins and for a long saddle that makes it truly look and play like a 50's J-45. I also replaced the flimsy tension rod cover with a thicker one and replaced the cheap factory pickguard with a beveled Holter.

As for condition, it is very good with one small chip around the sound hole. The back has a number of tiny indents but no significant scratches or scaring. The soundboard finish has checking but not obvious without shining a light on it (see picture).

A strap button was never added on the neck. The LR Bags pickup that came with the guitar was removed but is included and could be re-installed.

The original Gibson case is light brown with pink interior and is included as shown in the pictures.

This vintage looking J-45 has a great Gibson tone and playability.
