gearbasher 18 Report post Posted January 14 (edited) It's a 2006. The label says J-45 Custom Flame LTD. Here's one that sold recently: https://loviesguitars.com/product/rare-gibson-j-45-custom-shop-flamed-maple-limited-1-of-40-2006-vintage-natural-ohsc/ They claim it's 1 of 40. Of course it has ebony board and bridge. According to the serial #, mine was stamped two days after this one. Edited January 14 by gearbasher 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very interesting...they're such beautiful instruments when the golden hue starts to develop. I reckon as an '06 it's probably from the same run as the one that I played in early '08...I'm not surprised it's a keeper! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gearbasher 18 Report post Posted January 14 Here's another one (sold) that was stamped on the same day as mine. Only two digits off. https://www.vintageandrare.com/product/Gibson-J45-Flamed-Maple-Limited-Edition-2006-68599#prettyPhoto Again ebony board and bridge. Mine's rosewood.

Salfromchatham 235 Report post Posted Friday at 09:45 AM I went down to THREE, but then bought a Martin 00-15... oh well. Unfortunately, my home office/music room/studio is being “repurposed”. I actually have all my music gear stored safe and humidified away... except for the small Martin. I miss my J45. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They might say to bulldoze you and your stuff!😧 Me......currently thinking of 3 more! BUT, I already have ONE too many and it is sitting in its case on the floor like it is leaving..... AND I think my house may just sink on the music room end if I get any more, tip over!😕 Some forum people say ‘One woman, many guitars!’ Sometimes one is too much, so I tend to think of the guitars as something ‘puppy like’, pet? As in, how mean is it to ditch the pet? BluesKing777. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only problem with this strategy is: they're gonna sell it all for what you told them you paid for them.
