Default Gibson MasterBuilt J-45 Rosewood

Gibson J-45R from the now discontinued MasterBuilt series with flamed rosewood sides and back, ebony fretboard and bridge, MOP inlays, J-45 vintage 'burst.

Condition is excellent. The guitar has been played only in my non-smoking home studio and put to bed in her case every night since 2006.

Tone? Lush, thunderous when called upon (plenty of Gibson thump), but able to deliver rich fingerstyle results. Audio sample available at https://soundcloud.com/promoonlyguy/gibson01wav

Made in Bozeman.

*Body style: round shoulder dreadnought
*Top: solid spruce
*Back and sides: solid rosewood
*Fingerboard: ebony with mother-of-pearl dot inlays
*Bridge wood: ebony
*Other inlays: mother-of- pearl headstock
*Scale: 24 3/4 "
*Finishes: antique natural, vintage sunburst
*Pickup: active Fishman transducer

Asking $2050 plus shipping & payday fees. OHC included. Seller references available (have sold here previously).

Contact me by PM, please. And please -- no trades.

Gibsons tend to vary in the nut width, especially in older models. What does this one have on it? 1-23/32" (most likely, I assume)? 1-11/16"? 1-3/4"? Other?

Lots of folks want to know string spacing at saddle, too.

Good luck with the sale.

Specs show 1.725" at nut.

Gibson's funny about posting the strings spacing at the bridge. Can't find it anywhere, but I measure 2 12/64" or 2.1875.

Feels more generous than my Martin OM and OOO, a little less generous (but only slightly) than my Collings.

Beautiful. But that rosewood and vintage J45 burst combo is hard to get used to!

It's beauty and a beast. It's a MasterBuilt.
