Default 1951 Gibson J-45 SOLD

Continuing with my vintage acoustic purge, I'm reluctantly putting up for sale my '51 J-45. It was purchased from another forum member about 6 months ago and while it's just an incredible guitar all around, I am not giving it the play time it deserves. Overall it's in good shape and doesn't need any work. Neck set is good and the action is nice and low. There's a side crack that has been properly cleated and there is plenty of play wear from its many years of service but beyond that it's a great player. There is a strap pin installed on the heel and a plugged jack hole as well. Comes with a non original hard case.

Here's a link to pictures: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Dzq74ffhG822g76z7

Please note the pictures were taken by the previous owner, but the guitar looks exactly the same, doesn't have any new dings or anything like that as it has never left the humidity controlled room it lives in.

Price for AGF members is $OLD (the price I paid for it) + shipping and any additional fees. Please no trades.

For the low low price of 4500 clams you can drool directly on its nearly 70 year old spruce top!

Back to the top - lots of interest but no one has quite pulled the trigger yet. Get it before it's gone!

Early 50's J-45's are GREAT guitars. I own a '50 and it'll follow me to the grave.
They tend to be very very powerful instruments.

Good luck with the sale!

That’s pretty funny, right there. Thumbs up to the seller for having a sense of humor!

Bumping this up one last time before I head out of town for a week. Been lots of interest but no one has quite pulled the trigger yet.
