Treasure that guitar forever!

How old is that beauty?

 

[Amp360]

I don't know. My dad bought it when he was in high school. He's 75.

Look like an early 60’s b-45

I know it's a J-45. I don't know the year. I know it's pre-1965, just from family photos.

Very nice guitar, congratulations!

Cool guitar. Interesting that it has an adjustable bridge on a belly down bridge that early.

It looks to have a narrow neck. I'm thinking '65 at the very earliest. With that bridge as late as '67.

@Amp360, there should be a serial number on the back of the headstock. That along with the details
Such as that bridge could give you a year for that guitar. I am thinking 1968 at the earliest. ???
