This Gibson J-45 was made in the USA in 1953. It is a fabulous sounding Gibson acoustic. This guitar is mostly original, but the tuners, saddle, and bridge pins are newer parts. The bridge is original but has been reset. There are a few repaired cracks. On the back there are several very small filled pinholes, as if someone had tacked a picture onto it. They are so small we couldn't get them to show in the pictures, and we actually didn't notice them at all when we bought the guitar. The guitar has been pro-setup in our store and plays great. The action is nice and low and there is plenty of saddle. The guitar comes with the case in the pictures which appears to be the original case.
