NEW ARRIVAL Ever since its introduction in 1942 the J45 is Gibson’s number one selling acoustic. In recognition of it's distinguished rank, Gibson Acoustic’s master luthiers created the J-45 Custom, combining vintage appointments with several modern features. The J-45 Custom delivers the model’s renowned tone while adding a new, refined appearance that complements its fundamental design, including Herringbone purfling, an Abalone rosette, and a brand new flower and vine Abalone headstock inlay designed by Gibson master luthier Ren Ferguson. The top is made from AA-grade Sitka Spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from pattern-grade Indian Rosewood, giving the guitar a full, balanced tone, warm bass, and excellent projection. Internally, a set of tall and thin braces for the back, and scalloped tall and thin braces for the top allow the guitar to really resonate and notes to sustain beautifully. As finishing touches, the guitar has an Ebony bridge, a bound Ebony fingerboard, and gold Grover Rotomatic tuners with a 14:1 gear ratio. The guitar also has an L.R. Baggs Element Active Acoustic Pickup System installed with a volume control mounted inside the soundhole. Already a future classic the guitar is in excellent condition, with a very comfortable action, and comes in it’s original Gibson embossed hard case.
