{"product_id":"1956-gibson-j-45-very-good-condition","title":"1956 Gibson J-45 - Very Good Condition","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a 1956 Gibson J-45, the \"Workhorse\" flat-top that defined the sound of American folk, country, and blues. Its factory order number, V 4397-8, is stamped inside on the neck block; the \"V\" prefix places it squarely in 1956. Gibson didn't use conventional serial numbers on flat-tops until 1961.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe round-shoulder slope-shoulder dreadnought body pairs a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides, finished in Gibson's classic sunburst. After seven decades, the top has opened up into the warm, woody, midrange-rich voice that players chase. It's dry and punchy, with a fundamental-heavy thump that sits perfectly behind a vocal. The mahogany neck carries a full, comfortable 1950s profile and a rosewood fingerboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe guitar is in very good condition overall, with honest playwear consistent with its age and a character no modern reissue can replicate. Vintage J-45s from this era are increasingly scarce, prized by recording artists and collectors alike. This is a genuine piece of Gibson history, ready to be played.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eComes with a chipboard case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* The information presented here was collected from the estate of Marvin Rosenberg and independent research.
