What does a used Gibson J-45 cost?
Used Gibson J-45s range from $1,500–$2,200 (current J-45 Standard) to $2,800–$4,000 (J-45 Custom or 50s models). Vintage 1942–1969 J-45s are significant at $3,000–$15,000+.
What should I inspect on a used Gibson J-45?
Check the top for cracks (especially along the bass side of the treble bout — a common stress fracture location), the bridge plate for lifting (look through the soundhole with a mirror), and the neck joint angle (a high action that can't be corrected with saddle adjustment often indicates neck reset needed, a $200–$400 repair).
