{"product_id":"1944c-gibson-j-45-88","title":"1944c. Gibson J-45","description":"FON 335-26. A perfectly preserved mahogany top Banner, from the late-war period.  The guitar is in tip-top shape, its only scar being chipped out finish in front of the bridge. We've neck setted the instrument, glued a few loose braces, reglued the bridge, dressed the original frets, and set it up. It is completely original, including saddle and bridge-pins. Huge Banner tone, with added crispness, sparkle, and snap thanks to the mahogany top. Like many late Banner models, the guitar was built with a bookmatched top, and single-piece back; it has a 5-ply maple neck, with a manageable shape, truss-rod, 1-3\/4\" nut, and bean-wood fingerboard. Poplar neck and tail blocks, bean-wood bridge, black bridge and end pins, tortoise-pattern pickguard and two-tone sunburst finish. No cracks. Some lacquer crazing, but otherwise a new-looking 60+ year old finish. It's too bad we're in the business of selling guitars... this one's a keeper. \u003cbr\u003eWith newer hardshell case\u003cbr\u003eOn consignment\u003cbr\u003e$11,699 (US $8999)\u003cbr\u003e$12,050 (US $9299) with credit card\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"GIBSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610237657454,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/j45__0109.jpg?v=1790962727","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1944c-gibson-j-45-88","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
