=============================================================
Gibson / 1967 J-45 Cherry Sunburst
A one-of-a-kind instrument with a strong red cherry sunburst and a Goth-style peg, clearly a 1967 model.
1967 was the year the tobacco sunburst J-45, also known from Takuro Yoshida’s use, was revived. On the other hand, the cherry sunburst that had tended to fade by around ’66 remains strongly vivid on this example, giving it a look representative of this year.
The pegs are also from this period. These are elegant open-back tuners with a decorative center, and the back side is stamped JAPAN. It is a product of Goto, a Japanese parts manufacturer, and when you think about Japanese-made parts being used on the J-45, Gibson’s representative American model, it is quite moving.
The sound has the good articulation of a narrow neck and adjustable bridge, with a rough, middy character like a compressor has been applied. It is a guitar that responds well and sounds pleasant even when strummed hard.
