Gibson / J45 Custom / 2010 / Natural / Guitar
|
Ever since its introduction in 1942 the J45 is Gibson’s number one selling acoustic. In recognition of it's distinguished rank Gibson Acoustic’s master luthiers created the J-45 Custom, combining vintage appointments with several modern features. The J-45 Custom delivers the model’s renowned tone while adding a new, refined appearance that complements its fundamental design, including Herringbone purfling, an Abalone rosette, and a brand new flower and vine Abalone headstock inlay designed by Gibson master luthier Ren Ferguson. The top is made from AA-grade Sitka Spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from pattern-grade Indian Rosewood, giving the guitar a full, balanced tone, warm bass, and excellent projection. Internally, a set of tall and thin braces for the back, and scalloped tall and thin braces for the top allow the guitar to really resonate and notes to sustain beautifully. As finishing touches, the guitar has an Ebony bridge, a bound Ebony fingerboard, and gold Grover Rotomatic tuners with a 14:1 gear ratio. The guitar also has an L.R. Baggs Element Active Acoustic Pickup System installed with a volume control mounted inside the soundhole. Already a future classic the guitar is in excellent condition, with a very comfortable action, and comes in it’s original 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.
