About This Listing

Very clean Gibson Custom Shop 1950s reissue. This is one of 50 built. Serial number 11743006.

Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides. Bright, punchy tone with lots of clarity.

Excellent overall condition. The top is free of dings and scratches, although there a few small spots where the finish is slightly sunken in. These spots aren't from impacts--they are in/under the finish and run inline with the grain of the top.

The back has a couple of light dings and a very shallow scrape that doesn't go through the finish and is barely visible.

Great action, frets at nearly 100%.

Includes original hardshell case in excellent condition.

Here are the description and specs as provided by Gibson:

The J-45 is one of Gibson' best-selling acoustics of all time. Nicknamed The Workhorse and first introduced in 1942, this popular acoustic is now the icon of its round-shoulder, dreadnought line. World-renowned for its full, balanced expression, warm bass and excellent projection, the J-45 is one of most technically advanced guitars of its time. This version harkens back to the '50s with some period-correct features. Sporting a triburst finish, the 1950 J-45 Acoustic Guitar is being produced in a limited edition of only 50 models.
