1963 Gibson J-45 ADJ

For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this 1963 Gibson J-45 ADJ.

This '63 J-45 is all-original, from its vibrant cherry sunburst finish right down to the black plastic bridge and ceramic adjustable saddle. It features a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a rosewood board, a 1 11/16" nut, a 23 3/4" scale, and single-line Kluson Deluxe tuners. With that classic J-45 tone (warm, somewhat compressed, and not too trebly), this guitar is just begging to be played. The action is great through the 12th fret, where it measures 3/32" on the bass side and 2/32" on the treble, so there's no need for a neck reset on the horizon. We are also happy to report that there are no cracks, and all braces are secure. 

Cosmetically, the top of this guitar is in excellent condition, with only modest weather checking and play-wear. However, a previous owner put a sticker on the back that was subsequently removed, leaving a roughly rectangular strip of dried adhesive. (Maybe it was Buck, whose name is affixed to the back of the headstock.) This area could likely be wet sanded and buffed to mitigate things some, but we've chosen to keep it as is because there's no detriment to the playability or sound of this J-45.
