Description

This J-45 is a wonderful vintage Gibson acoustic with all the warmth and character that have made these guitars so beloved. Its voice is rich and balanced, offering a powerful low end, vibrant mids, and sweet, shimmering highs. The substantial 1950s C-shaped neck feels great in hand, while the refret provides excellent playability throughout the fingerboard. In beautiful vintage condition, it exhibits the seasoned character and natural maturity that only decades of aging can impart.

Includes a hardshell case (HSC).
