Vintage Gibson J-45 from the 1956, V prefix. It had a head stock split, paralell to the keys, where the tuning keys go (which has been repaired), the tuning keys have been replaced with era correct ones with new buttons, it had some cracks on the back, and one hard to see, on the front, that have been repaired, and a loose brace re-glued. There are 2 small strap button holes , well patched that were drilled into sold neck/tail blocks, not just the thin sides. It has weather checking all around the guitar, front, back and sides, as well as the neck, but it is structurally super solid, and plays great. Frets are original and clean, DOES NOT NEED A NECK RESET. Neck is straight, the guitar plays easy, and is LOUD. Looks right, plays right, sounds better than right ~! A keeper! Softshell original brown Aligator case.
