Please help! Is this J-45 legend authentic or fake?

I wouldn't worry at all about the COA , or the guitar. I have two Gibsons built about the same time as the 42 Legend in question. Mine are both 2015's. One has a COA with a typed model name and the other is handwritten. Both came from reputable shops that sell Gibson guitars. https://i.imgur.com/zUGhE2R.jpg -
That guitar is stunning. If it sounds and plays as half as good as it looks, you've found a keeper. I love the look and smooth feel of ebony fingerboards. That one really pops with those contrasting parallelograms. Enjoy!

The seller never responded to my inquiries about this guitar. It's still listed for sale on the local Craigslist, so I'm not sure what's happening. I'm moving on. Thanks for everyone's feedback
-
Thanks for everyone's comments. This forum is a great resource. I've reached out to the seller with a few questions and requested a better pic of the back braces. No response as of yet.

Sounds very nice. Thanks for sharing the sound clip.

Thanks for the pic, Dave. Yours doesn't look over built at all. For some reason I thought they had moved to heavier bracing and a larger plywood bridge plate by 1968. Can anyone explain serial numbers from 1968? I see some in the 500,000 - 520 ,000 range, and others in the 900,000's. Is this just Gibson being Gibson? Or is there SN sequencing that makes sense?

This guitar is for sale near me and I'm having a hard time verifying the build date. It's advertised as a 68 and visually that seems correct. Can anyone here confirm? I know the guitar is a bit overbuilt, but I'd be interested in hearing anyone chime in regarding tone, specs, build quality, etc.

Pretty sure it's a Preston Thompson -
I installed size 2A bone pins made by Bob Colosi on my 2014 Hummingbird New Vintage and they fit perfectly

There was also a "SCSJ Supreme" limited run in 2015

That is fantastic. One of my favorite Zimmerman tunes of all time. If only he could sing it that well. Nicely played too. I remember the saga of your SCSJ and was sorry to see it go. But I think it worked out fine. That J45 Vintage sounds great!
-
Thanks all. I appreciate the input.

Looks like it's pending already. That one went fast

I seem to remember that one or two people here were looking to acquire a SCSJ not long ago. I just noticed one for sale in the Buy and Sell forum over at UMGF. It's a 2013 and appears from photo's to be in really fine condition. I'm not affiliated with the seller in any way, just happy to have one already sitting here on a stand three feet away.

I have 12 or 15 unopened sets of Gibson Masterbuilt 80/20's that I bought a while back when supplies of the old stock were starting to dwindle. These strings work really well on a couple of my guitars and I'd love to sit on them for a while and use them sparingly down the road. Does anyone here have an idea on shelf life? They are pretty well packaged in what appears to be an air tight foil wrapper. I store them in a desk drawer in a temperature and humidity controlled guitar room. The last set I opened a month or two ago were perfectly fine. They are probably coming up on 2 years of age. I've seen some ugly corroded new strings come out of paper packaging after sitting around a couple of years, but I have to think these will last quite a bit longer.

Being 20 in the 70's was more fun than being 70 in the 20's.

The brown case with the pink lining is pretty fab too -

Enjoyed that one! A nice take on a Tom Petty classic -
I bought some bone bridge pins for a J-45 a couple of years ago. I also got them from Bob Colosi at guitarsaddles.com. I talked to him on the phone about fit prior to making the purchase and he recommended size 2A. They worked out great. He sells pins made from of a variety of materials at a wide range of prices. He also posts pictures of them on his website so you can see what they actually look like.

Congrats Kidblast. That is a great looking guitar. The 814ce is very versatile and the DLX features definitely bump the playability and aesthetics up a notch. I respect the commitment that Taylor is making toward sustainability and environmental protection with their tone woods. And Andy Powers seems to have taken guitar design and voicing to a new level. Enjoy the honeymoon with that beauty!

To my eye the standard vintage sunburst leans a little more yellow towards the center and the Montana sunset burst leans a little more orange/red. But they are pretty close to the same. Here are a couple of examples I have. 2015 J-45 Custom with Vintage Sunburst 2015 Sheryl Crow SJ with Montana Sunset Burst

“My #1 Guitar: Gibson Sheryl Crow Southern J”
Bozz replied to JuanCarlosVejar's topic in Gibson Acoustic
A couple of people in this thread (Hall and FemmeParallell) expressed interest in picking up one of these guitars. For what it's worth, there was one listed for sale in the AGF classifieds today. The SCSJ's have some nice upgrades, like an Adi top and bracing, and Waverly tuners. This one's a 2015 Supreme version which has the Trance Amulet pickup and hide glue neck joint and bracing. No affiliation here, but it looks to be in great shape. -
In response to the OP's initial question.... Yes, it is a Dwight Yoakam artist model. Love Ray Wylie Hubbard by the way
