Gibson / J45 / 1969 / Sunburst / Guitar For Sale
|
This 1969 J45 has one of the most vivd cherry sunburst finishes I’ve seen, really eye catching, and contrasts beautifully with the black teardrop pickguard. Tonally it has a very familiar sound, similar to lots of 60’s and 70’s singer songwriter recordings, warm, rich and lush, Strummed it has a full, smooth tone, and fingerpicked it has the clarity to cut through. It feels like it’s been played every day of it’s 55 years, the tone has mellowed so much, and just oozes character. Yet it’s in very good condition, with just one small area of damage, just above the bridge, which doesn’t go through the top. The Rosewood bridge with adjustable saddle has been replaced and had a bone saddle fitted. The unusual thing about this example is that, unlike most late 60’s Gibsons, it has a full feeling neck, which is very comfortable and has a low action. The guitar comes in a later Gibson embossed hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
