This is a Gibson J-45 made at the Kalamazoo factory in the mid-1970s. Condition: Year: Made between 1974 and 1975 (F-serial / Kalamazoo factory) Body: Spruce top / Mahogany back & sides Neck: Mahogany (almost straight) Fingerboard: Rosewood Fret remaining: Approximately 80% (no major dents or buzzing) String height: 2.2mm on the 1st string, 2.4mm on the 6th string at the 12th fret Cracks in the binding due to aging (see photos 11 and 12) Other than that, there are minor scratches and weather checking commensurate with its age, but there appear to be no structural problems. Case: Generic hard case included Sound: A soft, deep tone resulting from the wood being sufficiently dried over approximately 50 years. Rich overtones resonate even with a light touch, and it sounds pleasant whether playing chords or arpeggios. You can enjoy the "mellow sound unique to the Kalamazoo era" that cannot be obtained with current models. Recommended for those who can appreciate the aging and for those seeking the charm of vintage guitars. Will sell to someone who will cherish it. Instant purchase OK.
