Gibson J-45 1957 acoustic guitar - iconic vintage roundshoulder guitar with classic vintage sound

This Gibson J-45 1957 acoustic guitar embodies everything that has made a J-45 the legendary „workhorse“ in Gibson's acoustic range. Known for its reliability, warm tone and unmistakable vintage character, the J-45 has been played by countless guitarists including Bob Dylan, John Hiatt and Brad Paisley. This 1957 example perfectly captures this heritage and delivers the authentic sound of a well-played vintage Gibson.

This Gibson J-45 1957 acoustic guitar is an outstanding player's instrument with a wonderfully dry, open vintage tone. The guitar responds quickly, with resonant woods, singing mids, fantastic projection and a deep, growling bass - ideal for studio recording, live performance or personal enjoyment at home. It's a truly inspiring guitar for players who appreciate the sound and feel of a well-aged Gibson.

Our luthier has fully checked and adjusted the guitar.

  • Very low string action
  • Straight neck
  • Frets in good playable condition

This instrument plays effortlessly and is ready for professional use.

This is a true „player's grade“ vintage Gibson with several modifications and a cool vintage vibe:

- Tuners replaced
- Pickguard replaced
- New bridge
- Functional pickup installed (brand unknown)

The previous battery compartment was glued to the neck block above the serial number.
The serial number on the neck block is therefore only partially visible, but not completely legible. According to the previous owner and the typical features of the model, the guitar can be dated to 1957.

- Repaired crack on the back

- Small repaired crack on the top

Despite its lively history, the guitar is structurally sound, fully functional and professionally set up. We are selling this Gibson J-45 1957 Acoustic Guitar well below the usual prices of such guitars to reflect all the modifications.

The guitar comes with a newer guitar case.
