Gibson Acoustic J-45 Studio, Walnut Burst Overview
The J-45 is one of Gibson's most iconic and beloved acoustic guitars. Its rich and full tone has seduced a who's-who list of players since it was first introduced in 1942, and features on countless influential recordings.
This slimmer bodied model stays true to Gibson's original vision of an understated, no-frills workhorse, and combines traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing with a solid Sitka Spruce top, solid Walnut back and sides, Advanced Response Mahogany neck, and a Walnut fingerboard to produce an instrument of superb quality; excellent definition, classic tone, timbre, and unsurpassed charisma paying tribute to the expert craftsmanship of Gibson's acoustic luthiers. Amplification is easily accessed via excellent LR Baggs VTC electronics.
Another high quality update to a classic Gibson acoustic - one which must be of interest to any serious acoustic aficionado.
