For Sale: J45 Red Spruce VOS SOLD

I’m selling my beloved J45. It’s a 2014 limited edition that I bought As New Old Stock directly from the dealer (Guitar Resurrection) in January 2020. This model features a Red Spruce (Adirondack) top. As far as sound it’s got everything you want in a J45, thump, bass and a sweet mellow tone that perfectly accompanies singing. A Bone nut and a Bone saddle have been professionally installed as well as a K&K Pure Mini w/volume control, replacing the factory Tusq nut and saddle and factory Baggs Element. The bone saddle making direct contact with the bridge really opened up the tone, and plugged in the K&K sounds much more natural than the baggs element.

Added some more photos for those that wanted to know about foreswear, saddle height forearm haze etc. As you can see the frets are in good shape with only the B string showing any real wear. What forearm haze their is is very hard to capture in a photo, it is very minor, but it is there. Saddle still has good height and is intimated wonderfully.

Selling to raise funds for a long scale square shouldered dreadnought.

Thanks, it’s a beautiful guitar and an amazing J45, I have been afflicted by Martin GAS and the additional power of a long scale square shoulder dread, so this one unfortunately needs too help me raise the funds.
