The back of my 2009 Gibson J45 Natural. Honduras Mahogany at its prettiest.

Just fabulous.
The guitar itself is a special wartime specification, but the case is from a later date.

However, this case itself is very rare.

Even though it is a chipboard case, I have never seen a case with a brown covering ring and a red lining other than this case.

There is a batch of Gibson gold in the inner glove compartment, so it is definitely an original chipboard brown case.

Thanks. Yes, solid top.

I had it out to take pics of the pickguard for another member.

Looks cool in the light and as you change angles.

Great!!!!!
It's a wonderfully wild and fiery top.
Many LS-120s are laminated, but I hear some are solid tops, like your guitar.
What is the percentage?

Then you probably shouldn't look at these. :cool:

I saw it (laughs).

It's gorgeous. What can I say, after all, there is a wonderful "atmosphere".
Vintage Tokai is the best.

As far as the ES type is concerned, I personally think that the two years of Greco's Super Real are the best. Including the greatness of DRY-Z.

But when it comes to the Les Paul type, we have to say that Tokai is the best.

Something is different. It's so special.
