That looks like it may be an adirondack spruce top. Nice. And the banner and script logo (and presumably strip tuners) are certainly early forties style features. The bridge is a late fifties style, so this guitar has an amalgam of features, like the True Vintage line, and isn't meant to be a reissue of a particular year; Gibson actually didn't do that (accurately) until the late 2000s and the Legend series, so in that respect, it's like a lot of J-45s in that it's different from all the other J-45s, lol. I think any guitar with an adi top is likely a step-up tone-wise over one with sitka, so I'd chance it if I were you.

Hi and yeah, he’s asking for abt $2400. Price wise should be alright I guess, and on top of what you emphasized on, he added that the fretboard and bridged are made from Madagascar rosewood. If he’s telling the truth I would probably put my money down very soon.
another guitar which also caught my attention is the collectors edition J-35 but this is brand new priced at about $3300. Both guitars are really poisonous. I could end up like u having both.

Hi Red
Sorry to trouble u again for advice.
I found that peach guitars is carrying a J-45 legend.
Asking price about $3900 plus shipping would come out to be around $4150.
do u think it’s bang for the buck? Or advisable to just stick to the fuller J-45 since it’s almost as close a spec to the legend at $2500thanks.
Looking forward to your reply
