About This Listing

Watch a video of this guitar being played at the bottom of this page!

This beautiful, all-original J-45 has an early 1969 serial number, which makes it one of the last of the slope-shouldered J-45’s. The ADJ refers to the adjustable rosewood bridge, which I love the sound of. The adjustable nature also makes action adjustments a snap. And if you are one of those people who don’t love the sound of a mahogany bridge, you could always swap it out for a more traditional one, but this is the sound of many classic mid-late 60’s records. This guitar is 100% original and is in excellent condition. There is some checking and cracks in the finish that are normal for this age, but no structural damage or repairs. This is a classic guitar in amazing shape!
