1993 Gibson J-45 VS Slope Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

Overview: This is a J-45 VS ("vintage sunburst") from '93. It has a traditional dovetailed neck joint, a quick soft V neck profile, and excellent tone. It's got the J-45 thing going on but more bloom and warmth than I expect from newer iterations of the model. This one has been played very hard and long by one owner and I'm assuming that's why it's opened-up as much as it has. It has an undersaddle pickup fit (with battery at the neckblock and preamp controls at the soundhole), so it's ready to gig, too.

Repairs included: I gently reset the neck, gave it a level/dress of the frets, cleaning, and setup. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: It has a ton of wear at the soundhole and plenty of finish weather-check/hairline clearcoat cracks and blemishes and whatnot going on. The headstock had a break on its rear that was reglued ages ago and is stable and functional -- you can clearly see it in one of the photos. It doesn't feel too bad to the touch. The back of the neck has a ton of finish flake-off in chips and bites and so it's definitely got a "textured" feel. I think the frets may be newer, too. There are a few small hairline crack repairs (pictured). I think the bone nut and saddle are replacements. 

It comes with: It will come with a case of some sort (it's in a loaner gigbag right now).
