1966 GIBSON JUMBO SUNBURST J45This is a true vintage guitar. Serial number: 434801 and there is a # 2 under that .Gibson told me that meant a factory flaw somewhere on the finish, it is in near mint condition and can be dated back to 1966.It is all original and authentic-no modification or repairs-minimal wear and tear.It does have one small piece of wood that chipped off around the sound hole .It can be fixed easily .I will show in pics. Gibson's reliable dreadnought design produces a throaty balanced tone. It's a great sound for an acoustic . The J45 features :mahogany back and sides,mahogany , neck with rosewood fingerboard, cherry sunburst finish, smooth cream-colored binding and mother-of -pearl inlayed dots. This guitar has a history. It belonged to my husbands mother first then she gave to him when she died.Now he is gone also ,they where song writers. he (my husband Marshall Massey) wrote a song that Mickey Gilley did called Chug-a- Lug Charley he was called the Surfsiders then .Also he had a song published by Mike Black called , That's what Sells the Wine with BMI .Any of you that know of Mickey Newberry who was great in my books has played this guitar and wrote a few lines. This guitar did not have a lot of play mostly for writing by both owners , It has been treated carefully and always kept in case. if you look closely read more
