The story
The J-45 is the workhorse acoustic — every songwriter's guitar. This one's a '68 with the round shoulders and the original tobacco sunburst. A neck reset was done by a luthier in Peterborough — plays great, no belly in the top, bridge tight. It has the voice: dry, warm, the one that sits in a mix without trying.
