Hello, new to the forum.
Figured you guys could help me out.
I’m trying to sell a new 2019 Gibson J45 Standard but it’s not like other J45 standards I’ve seen in store. I’m noticing it now that interested buyers are pointing out the weird issues with mine over and over, and I’ve checked out many of the new 2019 J45s at other stores. All the ones I could find don’t have the year stamped into the back of the headstock. This one does. In addition, the serial (1xxx89xx) seems a little off to me. I don’t at all doubt it’s authenticity but it’s extremely difficult to sell as it is. I’m wondering if it’s just a weird one off anomaly of the newer 2019 Gibsons. I have attached pictures. Everything other than that says it’s legit, including the sound and weight of the guitar + case, vanilla smell of the finish, the immaculate binding and Gibson inlay, and smooth edges/wood figuring. It doesn’t have a label inside as well and never did, and didn’t have a warranty card in the case (thanks Guitar Center.)
