Red 333 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I have a J45 TV and an SJ TV. The J45 (a 2008) has neither "True Vintage" or "TV" on the orange label--just "J-45". I'll have to look at the SJ later this weekend; I don't remember what it says off hand. Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickitPaul Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 The J45 (a 2008) has neither "True Vintage" or "TV" on the orange label--just "J-45". Is the serial number on the back of headstock or just on inside neck block? I've got a '07 SJ TV, but it doesn't say TV, just "Southern Jumbo", but it has no serial on back of headstock, just on label & inside guitar on neck block. How many TV SJ's are made each year? Anyone care to guess? couple hondo ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modoc_333 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 some do. some don't. just seems to depend on who is typing the label that day and how they feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mking Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 My 2007 True Vintage does not state anything about it being a True Vintage. The orange label just says J-45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennroots Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Same with my '07 J-45 TV, orange label no TV designation. It has the banner headstock and old style script. It sounds and plays as "Only A Gibson Is Good Enough". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannusguy2 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 My J45 says "true vintage & limited edition" on opposite sides of the orange label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 My J45 says "true vintage & limited edition" on opposite sides of the orange label. My J-45 TV has a Custom Shop decal on the back of the headstock. There's none on my SJ TV. Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryp58 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 My SJ-TV just says Southern Jumbo on the orange label. No TV indication at all anywhere. Serial number on the inside on the neckblock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Do all TV's have that distressed or aged finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 333 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Do all TV's have that distressed or aged finish? My J-45 has the VOS finish, but my SJ does not. Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
