Check out this great 1950 Gibson J-45! It sounds awesome, and all the work has been done, so it is ready to go. The bridge was reset, some cracks were repaired, and just about all braces were reglued at The Music Emporium in Lexington, MA. The neck has never been reset, and shouldn't need to for some time. The truss rod works very well, turns smoothly, and has room to adjust in both directions. The tuners are not original, but are real vintage ones. The tuners have replaced buttons.

I bought this guitar in August of 2025 from a woman who saved it from getting thrown away. She was talking to someone who was about to take it to the dump, but she recognized that Gibson guitars were valuable, so she bought it from her. I was very happy she had saved it and reached out to me! It is an amazing instrument.

It comes in a modern hardshell case, which protects it well. As always, feel free to message with any questions. Thanks for your interest!
