About the Gibson J45
The J-45 is Gibson's round-shoulder dreadnought, introduced in 1942 as the successor to the J-35: a solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany back, sides and neck, a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, 20 frets and a 24.75 inch scale. The guitars seen here come from two eras: a few vintage examples from the 1950s and 1960s, and guitars made in Bozeman, Montana from the early 1990s on, including current production. The notes below are about the Bozeman guitars.
1990s and early 2000s examples often have Kluson-style tuners, and many 2000s examples have an under-saddle pickup, some fitted at the factory and some added later. Weighed examples from those decades come in at about 4.2 lb (1.9 kg), with nuts of about 1 11/16 to 1.72 inch (43 to 44 mm). From the 2000s on the neck has a SlimTaper profile, the top hand-scalloped X bracing, and the rosewood belly-up bridge a TUSQ saddle. Current ones have an LR Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup and preamp. Bozeman-era guitars come with a Gibson hardshell case, and the nitro lacquer often shows weather checking. Owners often replace the pickguard, tuners or truss rod cover, so ask for the originals.
