This is a late 50's model J-45 with a one-ring, one-point large-guard, and the mainstay of the J-45. adjustable saddles became an option around '56, while the fixed type became tighter and tighter dry sounding as it moved to a non-scalloped type, The adjustable saddle produces a unique sound that mixes the transparency of ceramics with a metallic sound. The internal construction of the original instrument is quite rough, but it has an unforgettable taste that can only be produced by this type of instrument. The exquisite sunburst gradation is also difficult to reproduce perfectly, and it is interesting to note the differences in appearance from year to year, from 56, 57, 58, to 59. The neck grip is also the same, with the 58 being the thickest, settling at 59, and becoming thinner toward 60. Both the gradation and the neck grip are a great match for this J-45, and it has the potential to satisfy those who are looking for a J-45 of this age.

The condition is as follows: the nut has been replaced, and there is a history of refretting. The saddle is a ceramic type with a recent coating, as close as possible to the first period ceramic saddle. There is a crack correction at the pickguard of the sound hole. It has been repaired with a large wood block patch from the back. There is a strap pin hole filled in at the top of the neck heel. There are no signs of touching the original finish, no other major damage, and the neck is in perfect condition. This is a vintage Gibson that looks and sounds full of color and is in excellent condition, and is one of those vintage Gibsons that you will be happy you found after searching and searching. Comes with non-genuine hard case.

ワンリング、ワンポイントラージガードの50年代後期型、大本命J-45です。56年頃からアジャスタブルサドルがオプションで選べるようになり、フィックスドタイプがノンスキャロップに移行するにつれて引き締まったタイトドライサウンドに仕上がるのに対して、アジャスタブルサドルは陶器の透明感と金属音が混じり合った唯一無二のサウンドを出力します。当時物の内部の作りは随分とラフなのですが、それでいて憎めない、これでないと出せないテイストがあります。絶妙なサンバーストグラデーションも完全再現は難しく、56、57、58、59と、ほぼ1年毎に見た目の違いも出るのは興味深いです。ネックグリップも同様で58が一番太くなり59で一旦落ち着き60へ向けて今度は薄くなっていきます。これらグラデーション、ネックグリップ共に素晴らしいマッチングの個体で、クセの強さ、この年代を求めたい方を満足させるポテンシャル、納得出来るJ-45です。

コンディションは、ナット交換、リフレット歴があります。サドルは第一期セラミックサドルに限りなく近い近年の上塗り有りの陶器タイプです。サウンドホールのピックガード際にクラック修正があります。大きめのウッドブロックにて裏からしっかりとパッチ修理されています。ネックヒール上部にストラップピン穴の埋めがあります。オリジナルフィニッシュを触った形跡はなく、他に大きなダメージも無し、肝のネックコンディションもビシッと決まっております。見た目、音それぞれに色気が溢れ、コンディションも良好、探して探してやっと見つけた満足いく一本と言ってもらえる、そんなヴィンテージGibsonです。非純正ハードケース付属。
