This is the one you've been waiting for! She's a player- and a great player at that.  Awesome 1953 Gibson J-45 with original sunburst finish that has worn in beautifully.  When we took this one in it had several small issues: two top cracks, loose/fallen braces, and the buttons were gone from the tuners.  Top cracks were repaired without cleats and barley show anymore.  Braces were re-glued and new buttons added to tuners...all work done by professional luthier (Martin & Taylor warranty certified). 

Low action, lots of frets and original bridge, saddle & nut all in tact.  This one sounds great- just like all of the famous J-45s you have heard on recordings over the year.

New hardshell case included.  Please let us know if you have any questions!
