NEW ARRIVAL The Gibson J45 is one of the most loved acoustic guitars ever made. Its signature warm / dark sound has been captured on countless records and in 2015 Gibson introduced a special version with a thermally aged Adirondack Red Spruce top for an authentic vintage tone. This model was put together by a very small team in Montana and the quality really shows. They thermally 'bake' the top before using the wood to kill any live cells, thus ageing the tone. Gibson have done their very best to make this a period-accurate acoustic guitar - even down to using the same small button tuners, a teardrop pickguard, and the headstock has the 'Only A Gibson Is Good Enough' banner logo. The guitar has been made using hide glue to bind it all together, which creates the most solid connection between woods, allowing all the individual parts of the guitar to work as one for the ultimate resonance and sustain. The guitar has a smoother hand rubbed and oiled fingerboard and bridge, and the hand sprayed nitrocellulose lacquer is hand rubbed to create a vintage finish. As a final touch of class, the guitar comes in a period correct hardcase which has a brown tolex finish with a pink fabric interior.
