This design fully harnesses the top’s resonance, bringing out the J-45’s inherent rich tone.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe sound is the quintessential J-45 tone, featuring a well-balanced blend of full-bodied bass, focused mids, and smooth, natural highs. It offers a cohesive, forward-sounding strumming tone and a natural, well-defined single-note response when played with fingers.\u003cbr\u003e \nFurthermore, it is equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element VTC pickup, making it ready for immediate use in live performances and recording sessions.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe slightly slim neck ensures excellent playability.\u003cbr\u003e \nThis is a practical, battle-tested instrument that combines exceptional tone with high practicality.\u003cbr\u003e \nThere is a spot where the finish has melted near the neck heel (around the strap pin), which has been touched up; however, it appears to have been done as a DIY repair and has been painted over. The logo on the pickguard has almost completely faded.\u003cbr\u003e \nOtherwise, there are signs of wear throughout, including scratches, dents, and some discoloration on the parts.\u003cbr\u003e \nSince there is some warping and a slight bow in the neck, we have performed a setup including a neck adjustment,\u003cbr\u003e \nand there are currently no issues with its playability.\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 13345052\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: USA\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Hard Case\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: Note: Tested up to 60 degrees left and right with no issues (warping and high frets present)\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Wear: Note: Still playable but frets are low\u003cbr\u003e \nString height (low string side): 2.2 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nString height (treble side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nNut width: 43.1mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 1st fret: 21.1 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 628mm (24.75\")\u003cbr\u003e \nRADIUS: 305mm (12\")\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings at setup: D'Addario EJ-16 \/ .012-.053 set\u003cbr\u003e \nRepairs\/Maintenance: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, string height adjustment, leveling\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, and other imperfections that are not visible in the photos or not listed here.
