1984 Gibson J-45 PROTOTYPE
Near MINT 1984 Gibson J-45 Prototype.
VERY VERY RARE
Has "Original Gibson Prototype" stamped into wood on back of headstock.
90th Anniversary on label in sound hole.
Unusually nice J-45. Aged multi layer binding. Book matched mahogany back and sides. Very loud with the best bass end I have ever heard on an acoustic 6 string guitar. 100% Mint! No end pin or strap button ever installed. I put new strings on it recently and it still plays perfectly. Very loud and barks like a cannon.
