stein Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 It looks real to me. I don't see anything that gives me the impression it is a fake. Could always send pics and seriel# to Gibson just to be sure. I think it is genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojorule Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 That's just the best joke I've read all day. Hilarious. Was it posted on April Fool's Day? 'The binding looks good'! Shame there's nothing left to bind. That's the Gospel Truth folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneS Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi-larious. The guy couldn't even take the strings off before he took the picture, just out respect at least? As they say on all the CSI shows--you can tell this wasn't a random act; it was a crime of passion and the attacker most definitely knew the victim. And like all victims, our poster says "Oh, I'm fine--these are just scratches." Gospel, huh? No good news in that there household... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 This looks like soon-to-be ex-wife damage to me. They know how to hit you where it hurts........ Thus speaketh the voice of experience....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph1050 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 "I think it needs a new top" Wait, let me look at that again, Im not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneS Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 On second thought...maybe that top just needs to be rehumidified? It was a really dry winter... Anyone else notice that there's also a crack in the concrete floor under the case?? And, there are other guitar cases in the background of one shot, too-- is there a Guitar Protective Services unit that should be called in for a home visit?

BluesKing777 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Rory Block guaranteed on her Delta Blues dvd that if I tap the guitar near the fretboard end of the soundhole when trying to play percussive like Patton I would be sweet... No, not really what happened - I was cleaning all my guitars on Sunday afternoon and I had one on my lap, one on the guitar stand and one on the floor when the phone rang... And here is the one I had leaning against the door: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1963-Gibson-J-45-J45-Guitar-and-case-/120730026769?pt=Guitar&hash=item1c1c120311 Regards BluesKing777.

TommyK Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 "Hell hath no fury ................. " Better take another look at that neck. The scarf joint appears to have been opened up, then snapped back. Barely visible, but it's busted. ... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1963-Gibson-J-45-J45-Guitar-and-case-/120730026769?pt=Guitar&hash=item1c1c120311 Regards BluesKing777. Under the definition of chutzpah, the dictionary should show this ebay ad. 1700 smackers! KSDADDY might be able to make a passable top repair, but the bridge is toast.

j45nick Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Tommy K is right: the neck is busted as well, but surely there's no "splice" there: it's a one-piece neck, isn't it? Maybe this was an ongoing thing, this violent relationship. There was a busted-up 1948 (or so) J 45 that was for sale a year or so ago, that had been turned into a framed, wall-mounted collage called "frustrated guitar player". I tried to buy it for some of the usable parts (tuners, bridge), but they guy was only interested in selling it as a "work of art". Maybe this guy went to the same art school....
