Gibson / J-45 Donovan Ltd. Ed. 2014 / 1965 / Guitar

Gibson limited edition 1965 Donovan model J45 acoustic guitar from 2014. The guitar is based on the Gibson J-45 Donovan bought on Sunset Boulevard in the mid-Sixties. Donovan wrote every song from late 1965 into ’70 on it,  before it was stolen. This meticulously recreated J-45 honors Donovan and the music he created on the original guitar like "Mellow Yellow. There is a letter from Donovan in the case that talks about some of the Beatles using that guitar to write some of their songs. The body radius, neck, finish and Sixties-style adjustable bridge were carefully recreated in order to build a custom-shop signature model for one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the last century. One of the more outstanding features is the textured matte Cherry Sunburst Finish that recreates the uniquelook and feel of the original.  This particular guitar is in excellent playing condition with some slight indentations on the back of the neck and the previous owner removed the original L. R. Baggs Lyric pickup and took off the pickguard (included). This guitar travels in its Original Hard Shell Case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
