Another gorgeous fat and round sound.
One of the ultimate strumming guitars that is
equally comfortable as a finger-picking baby.
The
Gibson j-35 jumbo was
discontinued in late 1942 ,being replaced by the
Gibson J45 . There was not
much difference between the 2 guitars accept for the pick guard ,
fancier Gibson logos in gold and minor changes to the peg heads .
Both guitars sound awesome ( warm & phat tone ) however , the Gibson
J-45 became a huge success because they were not expensive and they
sounded really good ,that explains why they are still in production
'til this day.
In 1942 the Gibson J-45 were dreadnought flat top guitars , made
with mahogany wood (back and sides) , they had a teardrop fire
stripe pick guard unlike the j-35 which had a pick guard that
followed the body contours, rectangular bridge , w/b/w top and back
binding, 19 fret fingerboard , fancy Gibson gold logo with a banner
" only a Gibson is good enough "
In 1943 they replaced the pick guard with a tortoise shell celluloid
teardrop pick guard , several J-45 guitars were made also in maple
wood back and sides , and some had no truss rods ,
in 1945 truss rods were implemented in all J-45 guitars .
In late 1946 the "only a Gibson is good enough" banner is gone ,
belly bridge was added . In 1947 they made a blonde version (
natural ) and called it the
Gibson J-50 ( same guitar but with a different finish)
1949-50 an upper belly bridge added with a triple bound top , in
1955 a larger pick guard was added with an extra fret making it a 20
fret fingerboard .
From 1956 to 1968 the J-45 went through some minor changes such as
various similar sunburst colors , slightly larger frets in 1959 and
on , Gibson logos were added to the pick guards in 1966 and rosewood
bridges were used on and off.
