J-45 12 Fret

Does anyone know where Gibson J-45 12 frets are available commercially - hopefully a storefront where I could actually handle one? I have in inquiry in to Gibson - no response yet. Nothing at Guitar Center. Thanks!

Guitar Showcase in San Jose, CA has one. At least they did a few weeks ago. It's a good one so it won't last long if it's still there.

Wildwood Guitars in Colorado might have them in stock.

Since Gibson doesn't allow most dealers to post what they have in stock, it's pretty hard to find anything specific. With business practices like that it's a wonder Gibson isn't in financial trouble.

Wildwood has 4 Southern Jumbo 12 frets ... they are the pricier "Ultimate" model with torrified tops. One of them is used at not much of a discount.

For the life of me what positive business move would come from not allow businesses to not be allowed to advertise there stock, the stock that came from the company that won't allow them to advertise there own stock, I just can't wrap my head around some the rules Gibson created for there retailer. Like Buck said, is it surprising there in the mess they are in currently?
