There's a distinct sound to the 50s. Emotion, the start of experimentation and a rock 'n' roll edge began defining the iconic music that would inspire for years to come. The J-45 Original 50s has managed to capture this. The mahogany body not only offers a durable base for your guitar but injects rich tone that you can't help but stop and listen to. It's a familiar sound that Gibson are the experts in. From the traditional belly up bridge right down to the Grover strap cream button tuning machines, Gibson have taken care to ensure that you receive the beautiful, authentic sound of the 1950s. Maybe Elvis isn't dead.
The last thing you want when you've found an acoustic that delivers a richly superior tone, is for it to get lost through the electronics when amplified. The J-45 agrees. Equipped with an LR Baggs VTC pickup, you'll radiate an incredibly authentic acoustic sound even when you plugin. Perfect for the professional, this high quality and meticulously designed LR Baggs system is beautifully responsive. Never lose even a fragment of expression. And with the built in volume and tone dials, you'll remain in complete control of your sound. Cater to any crowd. Large or small, your audience will get your full experience.
Looks like a dream. Plays like a dream. This nostalgic 50s tone oozes from a guitar that looks just as classic as it sounds. A J-45 round shoulder body encases a 50s-era tortoise pickguard and is finished with a deluxe cream binding to ply you with the undeniable aesthetic of the 50s. This is all topped off with stunning nickel hardware that adds a little extra shimmer to the design.
Because it's so stylish, you'll want to look great too. And, with the effortless playability of this acoustic, you will. You'll feel at home performing on stage thanks to the rounded mahogany neck that fits like a glove in the palm of your hand and reduces friction as your wrist moves up and down the scale. Your fingertips are treated right too. The J-45 features a rosewood fretboard that boasts a smooth bed for your chord transitions and finger picking. Gibson have given you all the ingredients you need to establish a 50s flair. It's up to you to make it your own.
