WMcPhee89 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hey there folks, im looking for some clearification please. I have a 1958 Gibson J45, where im confused is its a natural top... Which im lead to believe on my research is actually a J50. Although it is stamped j45 adj So which is it ??? The reason for my concern is ; i contemplated selling it and the potential buyer turned theyre nose up at it like it had aids . And actually referenced a different model saying they had one already.... Dont care about theyre story but it has been in my mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvguit Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Looks like a factory refin and update in the 60s. See the smudged stamp on the block? That is a pretty good indication. There may be a letter and some numbers stamped in the back of the headstock too. That is common on factory refins from the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottar Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Funny, That is exactly the same guitar I just inherited and I asked in my post from yesterday (link below) if anyone can identify mine. Mine does have a serial number on the back of the headstock as shown in the picture, and I looked it up and found that it was most likely manufactured in 1969. So far I received no responses as far as model, etc. Acoustic Identification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
