TME is proud to offer this sensational 1946 Gibson J-45, which we acquired from the family of its original owner who purchased it right down the turnpike from us in Worcester, Massachusetts. As the story goes, Dad bought this guitar after returning from WWII and deciding to dedicate more time to music. While he never quite turned pro, he performed regularly around New England as a member of various country and honky-tonk bands ... where this J-45 took up its natural residency as the rhythm guitar. All the hours logged on it have certainly benefitted the tone, which is exceptional. The guitar is wide-open, warm, balanced, and throaty; and its full, C-shaped neck makes it a lot of fun to play. Everyone on the TME staff has enjoyed spending time with this guitar since we've had it, and the common feedback seems to be something like, "This is an instrument that just wants to give you music."
