2014 Gibson Custom Shop J45 Koa Elite, Sunburst in excellent + condition. Will ship with OHSC and case candy. Guitar sounds and plays punchier than a standard J45 with more pronounced mids-highs; along with the bottom end we all expect and love in a J45. Some light signs of wear, but nothing major. A superb example that produces a rich tone & plays like a dream.
There are a couple of very tiny marks/dings in the finish and some surface marks from strumming but you have to look very closely to spot them as they were hard to photograph. The back braces had become slightly loose so i've had my technician re-glue them. The neck is straight and the original frets are in excellent condition with no sign of wear. It's been fully checked over in our workshop and set up with a fresh set of strings and a great action. Nut width:44.4 mm. Depth at 1st fret 21 mm. Weight: 4lbs 5.5oz. Serial:12394068 .
