❌ SOLD ❌ Gibson J-45 TV True Vintage Steel String Guitar Sunburst, 2014

On August 23, 2018 /

This Gibson J-45 TV guitar was built during 2014 at the Gibson Acoustic plant in Bozeman, Montana, and is in very nice condition. It’s no secret that I really like the J-45 design, with its warm, rich yet brilliant tone. There’s a substantial but not overwhelming amount of harmonic content, so it does a wonderful job at filling its space in a mix but doesn’t try to take over everything else. Great for recording, or to pair with a voice.

❌ SOLD ❌ Gibson LG-2 Steel String Guitar Sunburst, 1946

On August 8, 2018 /

This Gibson LG-2 produced just after World War Two ended. Because there’s no serial number or any production numbers, we’re dating it by features. The LG-2 was introduced in 1942, with a Firestripe pickguard (changed to faux tortoise in 1943) and a Banner logo – the famous “Only a Gibson is Good Enough” banner. This banner was discontinued shortly after at the end of the war, in 1946, but the Script ‘Gibson’ logo was maintained until 1948. So, this example dates to 1946 or possibly 1947.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Northern Jumbo Slope Shoulder Dreadnought Sunburst, 2007

On August 8, 2018 /

Like a Southern Jumbo, the Gibson Northern Jumbo features a slope-shouldered dreadnought body, with a Sitka Spruce top and Mahogany for the back, sides and neck. The fingerboard and bridge are Rosewood, with Mother of Pearl used for the inlays. A Firestripe type pickguard was stock. The top has a sunburst finish, on some promotional materials referred to as ‘Maple BUrst’, and the body has a dark tint. The rear of the headstock carries a decal of a Maple Leaf and ‘Limited Edition’ below. The truss rod cover is engraved ‘NORTHERN JUMBO’. As typical of Gibson acoustics of the period, an L R Baggs pickup system is discreetly installed, and the tuners are Grover Roto-Matics with nickel finish.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson J-45 True Vintage Steel String Guitar, 2014

On January 26, 2018 /

Once in a long while, we see early J-45’s come through, and they are special. The Gibson J-45 True Vintage, labelled ‘J-45 TV’, is a good reproduction – with a few modern improvements – of those rare guitars. The J-45 appeared in 1942 as a replacement for the 1930’s J-35 model, and came only in sunburst to hide ‘defects’, which might now be called ‘figure’ in the Adirondack Spruce used for the tops. Almost immediately, the US joined WW2 and the J-45 was affected, notably with the loss of the truss rod. Still, those guitars are regarded by many as some of the finest built.

Overall, great service and a great shop.

I picked up a Strat on Saturday, and was helped by Nevin. He was extremely helpful, and knowledgeable about the differences in the models. Once I made my selection, he set it up for me and showed me how to make minor adjustments myself.

Overall, great service and a great shop.

Now that I’ve had it for 24 hours all I can say is WOW!

Now that I’ve had it (Manzer 1980) for 24 hours all I can say is WOW! I took it in to my local L&M to order a new case for it and the guys were literally lined up to see and try it out. Also some patrons came over hearing there was a Linda Manzer in the store. Anyway, I do not regret the investment. Out of the 14 hours of ownership…. I’ve played for at least 10 and showed it off for 2. I think my Taylor 914ce will be looking for a new home. No comparison.

Thanks for everything.

You were right, it is a gem.

The guitar came safe and sound. With that case I don’t know why it wouldn’t! You were right, it is a gem. It seems like it hasn’t been played much. Hardly a mark on it. I know it is 26 years old. Do you think it will open up more, being a spruce top and all? Anyhow, I’d like to thank you Grant for your high level of expertise and professionalism. I am very pleased with this guitar!

Thank you again!

It’s really a great guitar!

Brian – the guitar is home! No problems, it took a long time to leave Canada (strikes I presume), but then it was fast, no problems with customs agencies and all. It’s really a great guitar, exactly what I was expecting, it suits perfectly to my playing.
Thanks!
