Gibson Custom Shop 50’s J-45 Vintage Sunburst Thermally Aged Red Spruce

Original owner. Purchased new in October 2025. Minty condition. Handled with the utmost care. Please reach out with any questions. I am happy to meet truly interested buyers halfway between a reasonable driving distance of Branford, CT (ie: if you live in Boston or NYC for example). This model‘s neck profile is on the thicker end of the spectrum. Lightweight. Read my reviews for peace of mind. The right buyer may be able to convince me to ship at their expense. I have the original shipping materials. Thanks for looking.

From the manufacture:

The new 1950s J-45 Original model vintage-inspired detailing from the golden-era of Gibson.  Classic "Workhorse" materials include a thermally aged red spruce top and select mahogany back and sides. The multi-ply top binding and single-ply back binding are subtly antiqued making each instrument look just like a seasoned Gibson acoustic. Appointed with cream button tuners, a 1950s-era tortoise pick guard, and upgraded with an LR Baggs® VTC pickup for the best and most natural-sounding tone when amplified.
