Default J45 ADJ 1965 // $2900 shipped CONUS

SOLD

This guitar is up again with fresh photos, fresh description and shipping now offered. At $2900, I will absorb the Paypal fees and shipping costs. I will sell it to you for less if you'll pick it up in or near Chicago.

This adjustable Gibson J45 dates to May 1965. It's a transitional model between the larger and smaller nuts and measures 1 10/16". The appraisal team at Chicago Music Exchange said it was an earlier J45 ADJ with a pared down nut, not a later J45 with a scaled up one. Which means this guitar is more better.

This J45 has loads of character and sounds as good as it looks.

- Bridge and pickguard reglued at Chicago Fret Works in May 2021. Neck angle is good, all adjustments made. This guitar is ready to play and has a clean bill of health for a reputable shop. Easy to play.
- One repaired crack on the back
- One small cleat in the top's bottom bout
- All bracing original and good. This instrument features featherweight thin straight braces.
- Original ebony saddle
- Brazillian bridge and fretboard
- Original Kluson tuners
- Finish checking throughout - the kind that looks gorgeous, not dirty
- Endpin drilled to a super clean 1/2" and ready for a pickup system or a jack plug
- CME says the black wings at the neck joint are very old and probably from factory.

Here's a quick phone video so you can get a sense of what this dry, woody, old guitar sounds like:

Bump, still available and still beautiful. Wouldn't it be nice to have something to strum when you're home over the holidays?

Responding to an inquiry about intonation, here is a video:
