Madman_Greg Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Guys I am wondering if you can help. Is there a list of the different Gibson J-45 Custom models produced over the last few years or so available anywhere to download or on a webpage anywhere. The reason I ask is as follows, I was in a store today and they had a J45 Custom model 2009 that I could not recognise (sorry could not take any pictures). No Electrics Tuners had white buttons – not see this before Burst seemed more cherry coloured thn brown No other details apart from the fact it said custom. I know of the custom vine and model after that which had the inlay pattern on the headstock only. This was quite a plain guitar really. Thanks in responses for any responses and apologies for only being able to provide minimal information as I only had a quick look at the guitar. Thanks Madman_Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whirligig Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 ok I'll take a stab at it sight unseen ...there was an in store promo of a limited edition Gibson J45 it was a short run of numbered guitars 1of 2of 3of. It was a tri-burst finish so it would appear more on the cherry side than a vintage burst it also had the small white pearl button bean style tuners & it had custom on the TRC the same as custom vine or the J45 custom not as much bling but still a very nice looking guitar! A few of the stores that had them as a promotion still have them availible such as Long & McQuade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madman_Greg Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Many thanks Mr Whirligig I think your observations are on the money,. Having a look on line last night after my post, I think the spec looks similiar to the TV model, but with the Custom TRC and cherry burst. No other fancy bits I can remember. This is in the UK, price was around £1800 s/h. Guitar played very well, I guess I could get the wood specs and serial to add a bit more info if this would help trace it.

whirligig Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Just one other thing you might make note of in your quest. The J45 custom has a white label in the sound hole and the limited edition tri-burst should be an orange label Cheers and good luck hunting...!
