❌SOLD❌ Gibson J-45 Standard Vintage Sunburst, 2009

The Gibson J-45 Standard was rightly described as a workhorse in the steel string acoustic guitar field after its introduction in 1942. Used by legions of guitarists for countless gigs, recordings and personal playing, the round-shouldered J-45 was one of the two primary ‘Dreadnought’ designs (the other being the square-shouldered Martin D-body) that influenced many later builders.

This plant builds many top quality instruments, including much of the Gretsch pro-line guitars. This guitar is in very good condition, and seems to be entirely original and in excellent condition with very little wear of any kind.
