I haven’t posted here in years, might be years before I post again. I know I am one of many here who grew up in a musical family, and was blessed to carry on playing into my generation and pass it on to the generation after. I am also one of many here playing an instrument that was played by a parent, I grew up listening to my dad playing his guitar, and it is the most important physical connection I have to him as he’s passed on almost 3 years ago. When I see it, I think of him, when I smell it, I can feel him beside me playing and laughing, and when I play it, I can feel the grooves on the fretboard that he wore down, I can see and feel the scratches and know he put them there. Even now it brings tears to my eyes, they are both happy and sad tears. I am almost 60, and so is my Dads guitar. Miss you, Dad, and thanks for everything, I’ll play a tune for you today.

I have a 90's case with the pink interior which fits my J45 fine, plus it says Gibson.

Looks like a 1963 from that #

Are you talking about swapping it to standard bridge, or just the plastic saddle. Personally I wouldn't do it to a vintage '45 or '50 but that's my preference.

g7 works on my 12 string, 6's and my mandolin, but I still use mainly my kyser

Has anyone else been slacking off lately?
JohnnyCanuck replied to Gilliangirl's topic in Gibson Acoustic
between learning mandolin and playing a Ibanez Mann LP copy that I restored (never played solid body before) I've been on almost every day. I got a roland micro br for christmas and what a blast laying down tracks and putting different styles together. -
lucky dog, enjoy her!

Mine is adjustable bridge, has 'J45 ADJ BRIDGE' stamped on the cross-brace. I have played a J50 same years as mine ('59) with standard bridge and the difference I definitely prefer the sound of a standard bridge.

you can still get vintage tuners, not sure that they would match as well as newer klusons. I think the newer wider klusons would look better on your custom vine.
