Description

J-45's don't get much more worn-in than this one - and few sound better. This 1950 example has more wear and repaired cracks than a description could do justice, but it is dried out in the best way for that unbeatable woody tone. It's undergone the necessary repairs to keep it playing right, including a neck reset and refret. It's a great player - nice substantial neck with a very comfortable first position - really what you want in an old dreadnought.

Includes modern hard shell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
