WM-45


bohemian

Recommended Posts

I bought a WM-45 the other day. Looked for the "right" 45 for several years.

Excellent plus condition. Original case. No modifications.

 

Picks.

Fantastic tone and playbaility (reminiscent of my stolen '46 J-45)

Very high quality materials

Stark simplicity

Excellent workmanship

 

Nits:

Cheezy gold tuners on a "working man's" guitar.. bling looks best on over the top instruments such as full hollow body jazz units such as a 400 or a Stromberg

Black pickguard

Improperly cut original nut... sides don't blend with the neck and slots too deep.

 

I am making a pickguard

Nickel tuners on order.

Making a new saddle and nut.

Other than that just a truss rod adjust and good to go.

 

When you fiid a good Gibson there is nothing like it. This one was worth the wait.

And surprise, found it at a GC !.. Undamaged as it had been there less than a week.

And since they are generally clueless with used acoustics, got a fair deal.

 

Only a Gibson is good enough
