Mr.Woody Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) We were discussing this in another thread, and the question came up about which J-45s do NOT have the pearl dots on the bridge. Mine, a 1942 J-45 Legend from CME, does not, but I'm curious about others. Here's mine. Let me know if this picture doesn't show up.

zombywoof Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) There were early-1942 J45s and J50s which did not have the bridge bolts. So the guitar loaned Gibson to copy obviously was one which lacked that feature. Oddly, the earliest Banners also lacked a center back strip.

gearbasher Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I had a 1994 J-45 Western with no bridge dots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I have a 1942 J-45, and it has both bridge dots and backstrip. Although mine is a very early J-45, it's not from one of the very earliest 1942 batches, so things might very well have changed.
