Gibson J-45 True Vintage Acoustic Guitar (with Case)

Get the original look, tone, and feel of the 1942 model. See for yourself why this guitar got the nickname "The Workhorse."

I am sincerely privileged to be included in the Zzounds Test Drive Program. I just received from Martin S; the program coordinator, the Gibson J-45 True Vintage# 12434006. This is an amazing instrument that is a delight and a joy to play. It snuggles in your arms while delivering tonal enchantment reminiscent of a quality of luthier magic only spoken of in hushed terms in days long since passed. I will not even try to express in greater detail what a sweetheart this baby is to play. There has been much spoken in the past few days on social media regarding the current leadership at Gibson. Gentleman, if you do not get your act together, the wonderful heritage of such incredible craftsmanship your company has exhibited since it's inception will be lost forever. What a tragedy!Respectfully,Edward S.

I picked out a J-45 TV off the zzounds website and eagerly awaited its arrival. It came on time with no shipping issues. The guitar had a bridge that was lifting slightly so now I had choices to make, some of which I did not want to make. Should I return or repair; either way I was covered I just didn't want the hassle so I returned it and am now waiting to see if I can get the 2016 Vintage Hummingbird.
