Gibson / J-45 / 1947 / Sunburst / Guitar

If you're looking for the best J-45 you ever heard, this one should be your chance. It is not only a Vintage Guitar, but as tipically happens with Gibson of '40ies, each one plays diffrent from others: to me there's no competition. In my mind Gibson J-45 sounds like this. No doubts. This J-45 belonged to a Danish singer songwriter, who has to thin out his collection due to the lack of space. The Fon number is impossible to read, but the specs are unmistakeably 1947, meaning the script logo and the lack of banner, only found in 1947 (and late 1946 perhaps) It features all original sunburst finish, Honduras mahogany back/sides, red spruce (Adirondack) top, extremely light in weight, Honduras mahogany neck, Rosewood fretboard, original 3 on a plate kluson double line tuners, bound top and back, adjustable and working truss rod, moderate but still firm C shaped Honduras mahogany neck with 44.6mm (1 3/4") width at the nut,  628mm (24.3/4") scale length. Tons of tone, loud and woody. .

Condition check: Despite the wear and tear, signs of use and weather checking this guitar is in good condition except for 3 or 4 repaired back cracks, hard to tell if one of them is a crack, the top seems clean without cracks, but we think one of the lines might have been a repaired crack. The sides are clean, the frets are changed and good condition. Actually very clean for it's age. Some braces are re-glued, all original finish, no retouch of any kind and the guitar plays with low action and has enough meat on the saddle to compensate the action. Frets are replaced and in good condition. It's now strung with 12's and sounds everything like a vintage J-45 should sound like, matured and percussive powerful. Really a great players guitar at a very good price ready to rock and roll, with no work to it.
