Gibson Acoustic J-45 M Rosewood, Rosewood Burst Overview
The J-45 is without a doubt one of Gibson's most beloved and iconic acoustic guitars. Its full, dark, and harmonically rich tone has thrilled countless players since its introduction in 1942, and features on a myriad of famous recordings.
This model, which stays true to Gibson's original vision of an understated, no-frills workhorse, also features a cutaway to enable easy high fret access. A solid Sitka Spruce topped body, with Mahogany back and sides preserve the classic tone, and timbre of the standard J-45 - as does the hand-scalloped X-bracing. Likewise, the stunning Mahogany neck, and mother-of pearl inlayed Rosewood fingerboard are of the highest quality, and serve to add excellent playability, and a unique definition to the classic tone of this instrument. Amplification is easily accessed via the excellent LR Baggs Element pickup.
Gibson have yet again produced a glorious and high quality update to a classic instrument - one which must be of interest to any acoustic aficionado.
