fp Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Looks pretty good and the price is reasonable if the rest of the guitar is clean and doesn't need work. He doesn't mention anything about the saddle height and such. Sal are you thinking about buying it ? If so ask him for more pictures, which I know you would do. If I had the scratch to buy it, I would be interested ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 To be honest if I had the money I would. The price seems swell, although I would do more due diligence first. But to answer your question, I am tapped and just a window shopper. One day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisrownSal Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 fp, I feel I am so lucky. I love that J45TV, and I also love the used Martin M-21 I picked up. I feel I am not worthy of these guitars for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 What you can see looks pretty nice. I believe by 1957 these are non-scalloped top braces, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 What year did Gibson go to the adjustable bridge n these guitars???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The 56 I just looked at had an adjustable bridge - but for awhile weren't they an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The 56 I just looked at had an adjustable bridge - but for awhile weren't they an option? Yes. Optional beginning in the late 50's, I believe, but not that commonly seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
