Here is a beautiful example of a 1956 Gibson J-45 . Aside from a strap button installed on the heel this guitar is all original with no repairs . This guitar is completely crack free with a wonderful aged patina , the guitar shows checking and normal players wear around the sound hole and pickguard . The guitar seems to have been played in first position most of its life and does have the original frets and nut , it does have some pitting in the wood and on the first few frets but plays perfectly . The tone of this acoustic is everything you want to hear , it's very evenly balanced with amazing volume and depth , you don't have to work at getting a tone from this one it's right there ! Absolutely beautiful guitar . W/HSC
