SmokeyGhost Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 My J-45 TV. It is not a good photograph for which I apologise. I forgot. From what I can discover from the serial number, the guitar was made at the Bozeman Plant, May 22nd, 2011 Production Number: 1.
Fullmental Alpinist Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Sure that isn't Bozeman NSW? An Aussie with a genuine Gibson J-45 and a TV to boot? Nicely played mate! And congratulations on owning a guitar that's well-loved on this forum.

EuroAussie Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Great buy mate, excellent to have another Aussie on the forum. Trust you didnt pay through the nose, the price of guitars in Oz are off the chart these days.

fortyearspickn Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Congrats. the TVs are super! You have a Super Icon #1 Workhorse !
duluthdan Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Nice acquisition. Everyone ought typo be issued a J-45 at birth. Best companion and smile generator I know. Congrats !
MissouriPicker Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 It's pretty tough to go wrong with a J45, no matter what model it is.. All of them are part of the legend. I've grown real attached to my J45TV. Also really like my former J45 Standard......These TV models are real tone monsters and the nut is just what my style needs. You chose well, Grasshopper.................Enjoy it for many years,
62burst Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 The vintage J-45 "gateway" guitar. Congrats on a fine Gibson. Hopefully, it came with THE case (brown Cali-girl)- if so, get it in that photo! And....... It's # 1 ! How often do you see that? Let's hope it wasn't a Monday. (edit: Just checked- it was a SUNDAY. . . right; just Gibson being Gibson) Happy NGD week to you. Just need the pickguard moved to make it perfect . . . And the seed has been planted. . .
SmokeyGhost Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 Thank you. The neck is a delight. The tone, as with any guitar, is subjective as you know. I enjoy it and will have a lot of fun. Great buy mate, excellent to have another Aussie on the forum. Trust you didnt pay through the nose, the price of guitars in Oz are off the chart these days. Yes, they are getting rather pricey (as an example I have a Squire CV 50's Telecaster which brand new cost close to AUD$450 less than two years ago. Now you'd be lucky to get one under AUD$600) but this one took some time negotiating along the lines of "Hey, time is money and how long have you been trying to sell it?" Not exactly those words but you get the drift. Just need the pickguard moved to make it perfect Sorry but I think the pickguard placement adds to the guitar's charm. So it stays. However, I get your view as it does seem odd to cover some of the Rosette.
Pittgibson45 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Nice acquisition. Everyone ought typo be issued a J-45 at birth. Best companion and smile generator I know. Congrats ! Very ironic auto correct!
mountainpicker Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Congrats. TV's just seem to have an extra little bit to them. Mine is so satisfying every time I pick it up. Have loads of fun with yours.
