A 1961 J-45 in cherry sunburst with faded but still red edges
Adjustable saddles were introduced as an option in 1956. They became the default in 1962, but in 1956 and 1961, both specifications were mixed. 1381 1961 J-45s with adjustable saddles were produced. In contrast, only 283 were produced with standard saddles! This is a very rare piece! The adjustable saddle model has a back strip inside the sound hole. It is stamped "J-45ADJBRIDGE", but this particular guitar only has "J45" stamped on it. Compared to the adjustable saddle specification, the string vibration is transmitted directly to the top plate, so I think it can be said to be a straightforward sound.
Regular neck specification with a nut width of about 43 mm. The neck shape is thin.
The top plate is deformed, but the appropriate string height is maintained. However, the bend can be seen depending on the position, so we recommend rubbing the frets.
There are dowel marks on both sides of the bridge. The top center has a history of repairing a crack and patching it. The end pin has been replaced with a wooden type for conversion, as evidence of a pickup being installed. A strap pin has been added perpendicular to the body at the top of the neck heel.
Thinly painted pickguard with single ring rosette. Rare specs that only existed in the early 1960s!
A very rare spec in the history of the J-45, which has been produced from 1942 to the present!
Comes with a third-party hard case
