Explanation
Gibson / 1955 J-45
The Gibson J-45 was introduced in 1954 as a round-shoulder model following the J-35.
Since its introduction, this model has remained highly popular and is still used by many artists today, despite changes in specifications such as the logo, headstock shape, rosette, and bridge.
- The large pickguard that became the signature icon of the J-45
Since 1954RecruitThe small pickguard, which previously featured a brown tortoiseshell pattern (some also had a fire stripe pattern), was replaced with a larger large pickguard around this time.
Many people probably picture this pickguard when they think of the J-45.
- Bridge Plate
A bridge plate, which serves as reinforcement, is glued to the underside of the bridge inside the body, but the size of this plate differs between the 1955 and 1956 models, a subtle change that is not immediately apparent.
*The 1955 model has a slightly thinner bridge plate.RecruitI am doing it.
From 1956 until 1960, when adjustable bridges became standard equipment, a common bridge plate was used.RecruitI am doing it.
This might result in a difference in the tone and resonance!
Beyond these visible specification changes, there are also hidden specification changes in the internal structure that vary depending on the era.
This model boasts the popular specifications of the J-45.
The guitar shows signs of having been used in countless performances, with repairs made to the soundhole damage and cracks. However, it has been carefully repaired, and its appearance suggests that it has produced that wonderfully wild Gibson sound that is characteristic of Gibson guitars.
Experience the authentic sound that can only be found in this instrument, which has been played and repaired over the years.
