This is a Limited Edition 2015 Gibson J45 with mahogany top, back and sides, and a dark (gorgeous) vintage sunburst and banner headstock.  It's a few months old, selling as I cannot afford to keep this beauty any longer.  The pickup and battery have been removed in keeping with the vintage look.  A stew mac end pin has replaced the preamp.  A couple small holes in the front block are visible from the soundhole - Gibson decided to screw in the battery pack for some reason and after I removed it I took the tiny screws out.  A few scratches have been incurred being a used guitar and having a light finish.  I could not capture any in the photos except for one, which is the deepest scratch with a quarter in the photo for comparison. Otherwise this is a rare, fine guitar.  It's noticeably light from the mahogany top and removal of the pickup, with a nice mellow tone.  Included is Gibson paperwork and certificate of authenticity.  The new street price was $2799.  The following is official information on this model:
