Gibson 50s J-45 Original Sunburst Acoustic Guitar

Step back into the golden era of acoustic guitar craftsmanship with the 50s J-45 Original, a stunning recreation that captures the essence of Gibson's most celebrated period. This vintage-inspired instrument showcases the classic "Workhorse" construction that made the J-45 legendary, featuring a premium Sitka Spruce top paired with Select Mahogany back and sides. The multi-ply top and single-ply back binding have been subtly antiqued, giving each guitar the authentic appearance of a well-seasoned Gibson acoustic that's been cherished for decades.

Traditional craftsmanship meets modern playability with hand-scalloped X-bracing and a comfortable mahogany neck sporting a classic round profile. The 24.75" scale length rosewood fingerboard features a 12" radius with mother-of-pearl dot inlays, while the bone nut and saddle contribute to the instrument's rich, resonant tone. Period-correct appointments include cream button Grover tuning machines and an authentic 50s-era tortoise pickguard that perfectly complements the nitrocellulose finish.

For contemporary performance needs, Gibson has equipped this vintage beauty with an LR Baggs® VTC pickup system, complete with volume and tone controls for natural-sounding amplification. The traditional belly-up bridge, Tusq bridge pins, and compound dovetail neck joint maintain the authentic construction methods that have made Gibson acoustics the choice of professionals for generations. Each instrument comes complete with a Gibson Accessory Kit, making this J-45 Original ready for both studio and stage.
