Stingray327 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I am trying to find the correct bridge for what I believe is a J-45 vintage 1958 though it has older style tuning pegs, may be Kluson open back style with screw on crown gears. Number inside is T 6309 17 which I believe is date plus batch # Printed in ink. The guitar is pretty much beat and the bridge is made from a piece of plywood so I don't know the correct style I need to replace. Guitar has ladder type braces and 20 frets. The last letter N in the Gibson name drops lower than the rest of the letters. I am not sure its a J-45 but its my best guess. Thanks in advance for any help.

ksdaddy Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 This will give you an idea of what it's supposed to look like. http://www.angelfire.com/me4/ksdaddy/repair_j45.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanfender Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 If its ladder braced, it likely a LG-1. J-45s are X braced. Here is my 57 LG-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
