That's different than what I see on my tv. To see what mine looks like I used an inspection light and look at a 45% angle at the bridge were it meets the top, and only saw grain lines, that look a bit like the zipper effect you mention. It may still be the finish being thicker between grain lines on yours. You did say it's on the ends also so may be not.
I see yours didn't come with the pick guard attached, did the seller include it. Gibson provided them lose so the owners could place them at there preference. A 45 dose not look right right to me with out one. and down the pick guard rabbit hole we go
On a side, I see your location is gulf coast, it brought to mind the song Gulf Coast Highway by Nanci Griffith. Gave it a spin on my tv Hope it all works out for you

Bluezguy I looked at my tv and I think I see what your describing. I also looked at my Epi , and didn't see it there.
Gibson and Epiphones have different finishes, Gibson= Nitro Epi= Poly . Nitro being a thinner finish, I believe it's grain lines you see at the bridge. Look at the tv and notice how the grain on the top shows thru more on the tv than the Epi
I would like to see photos of yours, not just the bridge but the whole guitar thanks

On my tv 2011 there is a stamp on the bridge plate it says AJ, I think it's for advanced jumbo type bracing.
There are other 45s made in the same time period that have almost identical features to the tvs, but have standard bracing.
I think you can tell by the distance the X brace is to sound hole

I was trying to find a Gibson catalog for my 2011 45tv today, I had no luck with my searches ether.
I think the early true vintage models 45 and SJ had Sitka tops

Look at my post from 3-28 yesterday
Educating your self is always best, this form and others are good ways to do this. It takes time. And you will learn which advice is good
We also don,t know how you want to use the guitar. as in are you a singer and accompany your self, also how long have you been playing

Those MMV that I saw in GC used to fool me, thinking they were D28
They are nice guitars, have you had yours set up by some one who knows what there doing.
Play ability may be to your liking after a good set up.
Save your penny's and try the standards and above models of Gibson and other builders

I find my calluses get to aggressive with string lines in them like yours.
When changing chords or notes they make the string ring out, and hang up on the strings.
I use a hand lotion on them at night I don't like groves
Yes it is worth it

Get it and forget it, your good to go

Looking at the photos it looks like the bridge holes or pins aren't aligned.
And the saddle looks thick

ZW thanks for that post, I went straight to ytube to listen to that version. I had heard it before, I didn't know David Bromberg was with him. That's the gold standard, anything David Bromberg is involved with usually is.
Thanks Jerry Jeff for all the songs. I've sung the hell out of them
-
That's a beauty, the dark grain lines accent the burst.
Perfect
-
That's cool to hear another 45TV, I hope mine sounds the same, I believe it dose.
Your strings look like a nickle alloy? I'm ready for a string change on mine, going back to nickle bronze after Martin PBs that are on it now.
Thanks

Is there any one as cool as Ray Wylie Hubbart
Thanks Paul

Let my soul roll on up to the Rockchester Dam

I had my guitar in hand when I listened, played and sung along with you.
Haven't done that song in 40yrs I knew every word. Thats how much I played it 40yrs ago
Stay tight guys

That sounds nice Bruce, I should have looked at EJ-200s a few years ago when they were plentiful on used sites, for cheep. I did get a Epi AJ-28 1998 125th anniversary.
I fell the same as you about this Epi have had it set up new nut saddle ramped and slotted bridge, great full C neck, all over tobacco burst dark bindings. There are some nice ones to be had
Hope to see a NGD post on the Gibson Acoustic Form from you

Verlon Thompson is a treasure, I like the the Utube video were he plays a Guild D-40
My first good guitar, still have it and play it to this day. Since 1969
-
That's a nice one, it seems to have the features of the TV models but with a pick up.
I was wondering what bracing pattern it has. My TV has AJ bracing, I can tell by a stamp on the bridge plate.

That was nice
That guitar sounds better now that it's broken in😋

You don't need no stinking pick up.
How ever you recorded that, is sweet

What a shot, East Cost sun rise and East Coast waves.
A Christmas tree with surf clam shells for ornaments , prefect.

I like how you put a photo first, I thought Larson when I saw it.
That's a real custom, and looks cool
