NEW ARRIVAL This J45 is a real find, 1969 was the transitional year when Gibson changed from slope shouldered J45's, so this is the only year you can get a 60's square shouldered J45. It's a classic example of the 'workhorse' guitar, and one of Gibson's most iconic models. The square shouldered dreadnought, with beautiful dark burst Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides, simply oozes character. It has a warm, rich bass, yet balanced trebles and detailed mids - this guitar is a great all rounder. As you'd expect from a 45 year old guitar it has wonderful looking lacquer checking, and the neck feels great to play, with a very easy playing action, making it a very difficult guitar to put down. The guitar has upgraded Grover tuners, a replaced pickguard, and a professionally repaired top crack, and comes in a non original hard case.
