Description

The following specs were carefully collected and recorded by a skilled technician. For a more detailed description and questions regarding sound, feel, or cosmetic condition, please visit our Lincoln Avenue showroom or call to speak to one of our Used and Vintage experts.
Finish Details: The body and neck have been refinished. The headstock face finish seems to be original, although it has a black finish touchup just above the truss rod cover.
Top Material: Spruce
Body Material: Mahogany
Neck Material: Mahogany
Fingerboard Material: Brazilian Rosewood
Neck Profile: "C" profile
Neck Thickness (IN): .93" (1st fret), 1.01" (10th fret)
Fingerboard Radius: 12.00"
Nut Width: 1-3/4"
Scale Length: 24 3/4"
Hardware: The tuners and saddle are replaced. The nut has a small shim underneath.
Weight: 4lbs 2oz
Modifications/Repairs: Refinished body and neck, aside from headstock face. Plugged hole in the headstock face, with touchup. Plugged jack hole on side of body. Many repaired cracks in top and back of body, with cleats. Neck has been reset and refretted. Shimmed nut. Replaced truss rod cover. Bridge has been reglued, with extra washers added to bolts. Replaced saddle. Several reglued braces. Replaced tuners. Neck has been reshaped prior to refinishing.
Case Details: Hardshell Case
Cosmetic Condition: This vintage Gibson J-45 is in good condition, with moderate play wear and repaired cracks throughout the body. There is a plugged hole on the back of the neck heel, as well as one on the treble side of the body. The headstock face and edges show wear, and there is a black finish touchup just above the truss rod cover. There is some wear to the saddle slot; the saddle is glued in to the bridge.
Serial Number: N/A
Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with low action, and the frets are tall with mild wear. The guitar lacks a discernible factory order number inside the body, and so is being dated based on appointments. The gold script Gibson logo, lack of a headstock banner, and construction style likely date the guitar to 1947.
