Hard to find original un-molested Gibson Workhorse J-45 acoustic guitar that's had one owner since the mid 1950's. The owner is a family member and played gospel music in her home and took very good care of the instrument. All components are believed to be original - and there are only minor blemishes on the finish. The case is assumed to be original and needs some attention (worn latches and case stress cracks), but overall, in solid condition. Priced per mid-range value in the latest edition of Vintage Guitar Price Guide.
