This is a 1959 Gibson J-45, Factory Order Number S8773-32 in VG+ condition with no cracks or repairs. The guitar appears to be all original with the exception of the DeArmond pickup, controls & jackplate which were added back in the 1960s. It is possibly re-fretted, but if so the work was done perfectly & a long time ago - I think they're original.  The pickup & electrics work great & give a warm & hard-to-beat natural tone. The guitar plays & sounds great - acoustically or plugged-in. Mahogany body, spruce top & sunburst finish. Shows some honest playing wear as would be expected in a 58 year old vintage guitar. Will ship in a non-original, newer hard-shell case. Free shipping in North America, to be calculated for other continents.
