First launched by Gibson in 1942, the J-45 standardized their slope shouldered jumbo design (their answer to Martin's dreadnought). With its no-frills spruce and mahogany construction and famous sunburst, the J-45 was nicknamed “The Workhorse” by players, and for good reason. This guitar can take just about anything you throw at it! Singer-songwriters have found the warm and balanced sound fits perfectly beneath vocals, and the short scale makes it a good fit for fingerpickers and strummers. But with its wide dynamic range, it handles flatpicking just as well. In contrast to the baseball bat necks of the earlier decade, this one has a slimmer, more modern C profile.
Repair history includes a replaced bridge, new saddle, replaced bridge pins, plugged holes on the bridge plate from the original adjustable bridge (original adjustable bridge included in the case).
HSC included.
