Step back in time with the 50s J-45 Original, a guitar that captures the authentic spirit of Gibson's legendary golden era through meticulous vintage-inspired craftsmanship. This classic “Workhorse” acoustic showcases traditional materials including a premium Sitka Spruce top paired with carefully selected Mahogany back and sides, creating the foundation for that unmistakable Gibson tone.
The instrument's visual appeal comes from thoughtfully antiqued multi-ply top binding and single-ply back binding, giving each guitar the appearance of a well-seasoned vintage acoustic. Period-correct appointments include cream button tuners and an authentic 50s-era tortoise pickguard that perfectly complement the guitar's retro aesthetic.
For modern versatility, Gibson has equipped this traditional acoustic with an LR Baggs® VTC pickup system, ensuring the most natural-sounding amplified tone possible while maintaining the guitar's vintage character and acoustic integrity.
