Description
Description
Made in 1993. A classic Gibson round-shoulder model.
A dignified J-45 VS has arrived as a consigned used item!
This model has specifications unique to the 1990s, which differ from the current J-45 model.
A combination of Kluson-type Keystone knob tuners and a small pickguard.
One major structural difference is the back bracing; while most current J-45 models use thin, tall bracing, this model uses thick, rounded bracing.
As a result, the sound has a stronger emphasis on the low-mids compared to current models, and the slightly gritty, subtly different nuances are what make this year's model so interesting.
While retaining the crisp, punchy character of the J-45, this guitar has a well-balanced sound that suggests it has been played for many years, making it very pleasant to listen to.
The chords are well-separated, and the fineness of the notes is outstanding, creating a pleasant feeling that makes you want to play for hours without realizing it.
Regarding its condition, upon arrival at our store, the guitar underwent bracing repair, fret leveling, nut replacement, and a complete setup at our affiliated repair workshop.
In terms of appearance, there is overall weather checking, scratches, dents, tarnishing of the hardware, and blue rust on the end pin.
There are signs of heavy use, such as wear in the lower positions of the fretboard, due to extensive playing.
There are no cracks that reach the wood, and no fatal damage to the instrument, including the neck condition, is visible.
In addition to the nut replacement we performed, the bridge pins have been replaced with wooden ones.
During setup, the string height at the 12th fret is set to average values of 2.5mm for the 6th string and 2.0mm for the 1st string. However, there is little remaining saddle height, so there is no further room to lower the string height using the saddle.
Currently, the instrument plays well, and there are no issues such as dead notes or buzzing.
*The string height values listed are for the guitar at setup and may vary due to the properties of the wood.
The original hard case is included, but it has some damage and dirt commensurate with its age.
It has a well-worn look, but the distinctive Gibson acoustic sound of the 90s is still very much present.
For those who want a J-45 that's a little different from the current model, this is a guitar you should definitely try!
