Here is a video of the 60s J-45 model. At 9:10, it shows a close-up of the adjustable saddle.

If my arm and shoulder still have issues, I’ll work harder at PT. I miss having a Gibson.
Anyways thanks for all the great posts.

Congrats on the new guitar! I like the wine red.
Regarding the adjustable saddle, I haven't played one of these newer 60s model J-45s, but I own a '64 J-50 with the adjustable saddle, and I love the sound of that guitar. I have also owned other vintage J-45/J-50 guitars that had fixed bridges, and I chose to keep the '64 over them because I liked the sound on that one the most. I don't know how much the adjustable saddle contributes to the overall sound, but on this guitar it is working fine, and I don't plan to change it out for a fixed bridge.
