Wow what a swell guitar! Although I am a day late and Mark already acknowledged the sad passing of Ed King yesterday I just learned something about him that I had not known. He also played in a late 1960's psychedelic band called the Strawberry Alarm Clock who had a delightful pop hit called "Incense and Peppermints" that is fondly remembered by those of us in the geezer class. They were quite well known back in the day but largely forgotten now. If you like that sort of thing check them out.

J-45 is my all time favorite guitar. My Dad bought a J-45 brand new in 1962. It’s the guitar I learned to play on. It’s been my best friend from my teenage years to present day. Whenever I looked at guitars I was always disappointed because nothing gave me that booming sound I had become accustomed to. That J-45 spoiled me. I quit trying to find that sound in other guitars. I still have this Old Workhorse today along with a few others for their own distinctive tones.

What a gorgeous tone out of that J45, it deserved all that loving.

[espcarolkinder]

I’ve lived in WV all of my 56yrs ♥️ I’m teaching myself to play guitar, so this is the 1st song I learned. I don’t sound like that yet, but I’ll get there. Thanks for this one!!!

[josephsperrazza]

You got me melancholy now I miss my old country road friends .

[GabrieleSantoro]

Love the tone of the J-45, and Mark is playing it the right way: hard. It gives the best when you are not gentle with it. Boom!

Very nice!! Lots of love poured into that thing.

It's broken in but not broken hearted, man this thing's got a heart of gold. Lucky new owner.

One of my favorite guitar of all time. It's been on my wish list forever. Not much else to say. Please somebody buy this and give it to me.
