Ok that makes since The value doesn’t really matter to my ya know but it was important for me to figure out more about the guitar and to learn more about it.

From what I read the j45 is know for having a very thick neck would a Lg2 have the same thickness of the neck? My guitar has a massive neck ,much larger than anything I’ve ever played before

So I did some looking and I’m pretty sure it’s an Lg2 I did a quick google search and the compared the two models and the contours on the body of my guitar look more closely like that of the Lg2 I also know that my grandma had someone try and buy the guitars from her and offered about 7k according to her and I don’t think an Lg2 would fetch that price from what I saw online

It’s playable right now it’s spotty past the I wanna say 14th fret with the dead notes. it tunes well and could use a new set of stings but I’m afraid to do that on my own but yeah I play it a lot and plan to keep playing but I’d like have the full fretboard

Also I’m not for sure if it’s a j45 I had on another forum in the past and someone said it was a j45 but it wasn’t Gibson dedicated and I also had a lot of predatory offers to buy it (had a guy offer me $100) but to me it’s one of them things that doesn’t have a price

I will for sure give you some measurements on it when I have the ability to do so I have some other pictures of it helps at all

Thanks I was really curious about that

Thanks for the information I will maybe talk with a local guitar shop I know they have fixed an amp I own from the same Era I’ll for sure to talk to them and get a quote any idea what kind of wood it is?

I’m in Oklahoma I don’t have any of that information on the sizes or if there’s a stamp but I know it was an early 40’s and that it’s authentic my grandmother was with my grandad when he bought it in the 40’s at a Gibson dealership

My grandfather had a Gibson j45 from the 1940’s and I’d like to know more about it also I need advice on what to get done to fix deadnotes on the guitar(I have no intent on selling the guitar, I just want to know more about a big part of my family and it’s history)
