The miracle combination of scalloped X-bracing and large pickguard."

Gibson / 1955 J-45

Aged for 70 years, this guitar has an overwhelming presence.

The small pickguard of the early 1950s was replaced by a large one in 1955, and an adjustable bridge was adopted in 1956.

Among them, the combination of scalloped X bracing and large pickguard is said to exist only in 1955.
The unique rough and full tone of this configuration makes this a must-try for those who want a J-45 with a special tone that cannot be found anywhere else.

I can just imagine the scene where you are on the road and someone says to you, "What's that cool guitar? I can imagine a scene where someone says, "What's that cool guitar? I can't help but admire this guitar if I can deliver its special story and tone at that time.

When I think about it, I am very envious of those who were born in 1955.
I am very envious of those who were born in 1955, because so many wonderful instruments were being made in the year of their birth.
In the history of the many J-45s, only 1432 were made in 1955.
How many of them are still in existence?
This rare vintage J-45 will surely be your partner for a lifetime.

The wood is in excellent condition and playing condition.
There are no cracks and the original painted pickguard is still in good condition with no repair history.
The probability of this J-45 being a non-cracked one with the original pickguard still in place is miraculous, especially after 70 years of production. There are not enough J-45s in circulation to choose from, so to be able to choose one in this condition is an opportunity.

It must have been played in many different styles. And the fact that it still retains its wonderful tone and condition.
It has the value and sound that will make it a lifelong partner.
