Starting in 1968, Gibson made J-45s as square-shouldered dreadnought-shaped guitars with a longer 25.5\" scale — and during 1968 and 1969 both slope-shouldered and square-shouldered J-45s were made before the model changeover was complete. A 1967 J-45 is therefore the last full production year of the slope-shoulder design that Gibson had been building since 1942 — the round-shouldered body silhouette and 24.75\" scale that define the classic J-45 character, before the model was fundamentally redesigned. For players and collectors who specifically want slope-shoulder construction, 1967 is the last clean year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalguitars.com\/resorocket\" class=\"group\/tag relative h-[18px] rounded-full inline-flex items-center overflow-hidden -translate-y-px cursor-pointer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative transition-colors h-full max-w-[180px] overflow-hidden px-1.5 inline-flex items-center font-small rounded-full border-0.5 border-border-300 bg-bg-200 group-hover\/tag:bg-accent-900 group-hover\/tag:border-accent-100\/60\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-nowrap text-text-300 break-all truncate font-normal group-hover\/tag:text-text-200\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe original J-45 design featured a mahogany neck, back, and sides, a spruce top, and a Brazilian rosewood fretboard and bridge — and this 1967 example retains all three of those original material specifications. The Brazilian rosewood fretboard, bridge, and saddle are all original, a detail worth noting explicitly: Gibson was phasing out Brazilian rosewood in this period as CITES-precursor trade pressures and supply constraints pushed the industry toward Indian rosewood, and finding a 1967 J-45 with all three Brazilian rosewood components original and confirmed is not guaranteed. The bone nut is original. The original Kluson 3-on-a-plate tuners are original and functioning correctly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalguitars.com\/resolectric\" class=\"group\/tag relative h-[18px] rounded-full inline-flex items-center overflow-hidden -translate-y-px cursor-pointer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative transition-colors h-full max-w-[180px] overflow-hidden px-1.5 inline-flex items-center font-small rounded-full border-0.5 border-border-300 bg-bg-200 group-hover\/tag:bg-accent-900 group-hover\/tag:border-accent-100\/60\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-nowrap text-text-300 break-all truncate font-normal group-hover\/tag:text-text-200\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe 1960s saw the traditionally dark brown or black sunburst become a brighter cherry red color that was prone to fading with sun exposure — this example presents in tobacco sunburst, which Gibson offered on some examples in 1967. The solid spruce top shows small dings visible in the photos; the back and sides show a ding on the bottom upper bout, also visible in the photos. Neither affects playability or structural integrity. The multi-ply white\/black top binding is excellent. Solid mahogany back and sides, slim to medium C mahogany neck at .848\" at the first fret and .935\" at the tenth. Action is set at 3\/32\" on both strings at the twelfth fret. Original tortoiseshell pickguard. Non-original truss rod cover screws noted. At 4 lbs 8.5 oz this is a light, resonant instrument. Non-original modern tweed hardshell case included. \u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\"
