Aftermarket Price History

Used-market sales only. Brand New listings excluded.

The J-45 Custom is an upper-tier production interpretation of Gibson's workhorse acoustic, which means it has to walk a narrow line. Too plain, and the Custom pitch does not land; too ornate, and it stops feeling like a J-45. The best used examples keep the model's honesty while adding enough refinement to make the upcharge feel justified.
