scott kurt Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hi there. Does anyone know where I can track down a Gibson J45 12 fret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Gruhns or Carters Vintage maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Find it on the unicorn shelf. If it exists, that would be a modern Bozeman guitar. Knowing Bozeman, it probably does exist. I know they have made 12-fret versions of other slope-J models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I had two. . . kept the soundier one, but liked the burst on other better. Tried to buy a third for the a/b/c, but the guitar monger cut me off: 'Gone through more J-45 and variants than I'm willing to admit, but the 12 fret brought strongest low-mids. Makes one wonder if some of that would still remain in the increased projection that might be had in a thinner bodied Studio 12-fret, if Gibson would ever dare build one.

zombywoof Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Yeah, as far as I know the only 12 fret Jumbo to come out of Kalamazoo were the Roy Smecks. The 12 fret J45s were, as noted, a Bozeman creation which I think had a two -year run about four or five years back now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
