SOLD 2012 Gibson J45 True Vintage - Adirondack top
What's Hot
Putting my Gibson J45 Vintage up for sale.
I spent a lot of time tracking this down - played a bunch of stuff but ultimately had my head and heart turned by this up-specced Adi-top version.
My Googling suggests that as Gibson are won't to do the model names and spec vary subtle with the passing years (months?, weeks? ffs Gibson marketing dept... lol) - there's "True Vintage" and another version I've heard, this model's correct name is "J45 Vintage"
It's in good condition, has had a strap button and an endpin jack fitted.
Price quoted is as-is with the pickup (which is, imho, excellent and was professionally fitted)
A year or so ago I had it fettled by an outstanding luthier in Bath (recommend by Stuart Ryan no less) and it remains to date the best playing acoustic I've owned.
Moving in with the girlfriend necessitates many fewer guitars (although is otherwise a cause for great celebration, I hasten to add in case she's watching)

I think it predates the Vintage... not sure what differences there are in spec. Think the Vintage might have a torrified top (but not the TV).
Both models can sound really nice.

Had another one the other day on my Helix phone me, chat about it for ages then ask if I'd take <lowest price ever for any helix anywhere> then say he really couldn't justify more as it was a whim purchase. Seemed odd he'd invest the time on the phone with such an unlikely offer. But then I'd have said that about travelling an hour to get a J45 too!
Price for guitar now £1600 collected firm (plus fuel costs if lengthy meetup)
