Older SG standard + cash
Something with gold foils + cash
Humbucker guitar that ain't pointy + cash

For sale I have a 2011 (I think) Gibson Custom Shop J45. This is one of the run Wildwood have that is similar in spec to the 'True Vintage' guitars, but with a few notable differences:

Hide glue bracing.
Full gloss finish all around.

Other features:
Top is Adirondack spruce.
Sides and back are solid mahogany.
Rosewood fingerboard.
Banner headstock.
Lifton style case, with extra (removable) neck brace.
It has an LR Baggs Lyric pickup installed - this is, in my opinion, the only show in town when it comes to acoustic pickups. If you are unfamiliar, it consists of an actual microphone mounted inside the guitar, and is the most natural sounding pickup I've ever heard.
Neck is listed on that vid as a 'V', but to me it seems like a slightly large slim taper, rounded. .828 at the first fret.

Guitar has been kept humidified in a smoke free home, and shows normal wear for a guitar that has been played and played and played. There are just a couple small dings that I see on the top - two near the sound hole that are about the size of the head of a ball point pen, and one on the lower bout that is about a quarter inch long. All are basically minor dents. Other wear I see when I go over it amounts to mild surface swirls.

I picked this guitar up at Wildwood after playing about 12 different Gibson and Martin dreadnoughts, and thought it was the best one I played. I've had it for about a year, and honestly thought I wouldn't part with it, but recently got a Martin 000-18 and realized that the 000 was the sound I'd been hearing in my head, and while it pains me to sell this, it pains me more for it to sit unused.
