1942 J-45 LEGEND SUNBURST
The Limited 1942 J-45 Legend Sunburst with Thin Natural Cure finish was originally designed by and built exclusively for Japanese retailers, but we’ve got it. Built now exclusively for CME, this J-45 is constructed exactly like it was in 1942, down to the traditional, hand-scalloped X-bracing with hot hide glue on both the top and back for better tonal response. The mahogany neck is carved to a pre-war profile and the body features period-correct tone woods like mahogany back and sides and a thermally aged Adirondack red spruce top. A spectacular, vintage-inspired tribute to an iconic guitar at its peak.
