Description

What makes this guitar special: A magnificent, true vintage J-45 with a spectacular sound - big & booming - like a cannon!  The guitar has had some work done to it so it's priced more like a player's grade, making it very affordable indeed.  Features include a big, chunky neck & Adirondak top for superior tonal quality.  Professionally set up our luthier, so she's ready to play straight out of the case.

Cosmetic Condition:  Various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & some finish wear.  The body has a few repaired cracks & the entire guitar has been oversprayed.  There's a 2 in the back of the headstock, indicating the guitar was a factory second, but it's impossible to tell now what made it so.  Overall the guitar has a great look to it with a cool vintage vibe & beautiful patina.

Neck:  Chunky, one-piece mahogany neck with cream side-dots.  Beautiful dark Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays.  Frets show some light wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Mis-matched Kluson Deluxe tuners are in good working condition.  1 11/16" nut width; 25" scale length.  Neck is straight & plays great up & down the fretboard.

Body:  Round shoulder dreadnought in sunburst finish.  Solid Adirondak spruce top with 3-ply binding.  Rosewood bridge with pearloid dot inlays & cream end pins.  Tortoise pickguard & 3-ply rosette.  Solid mahogany back & sides with single-ply binding.  Guitar weighs 3 lbs 15.7 oz.  There is no pickup.

Case:  Unoriginal hardshell case included.
