Model overview
It is no exaggeration to say that the J-45 is not only Gibson's historic standard model, but also the world standard for acoustic guitars. The original idea was to create a guitar that was not flashy, but stylish, and had a great sound for any acoustic guitar player.It was launched in 1942, and is now handcrafted at a factory in Bozeman, Montana, USA. It has been.

Painting with nitrocellulose lacquer, a paint that cures slowly and soaks in slowly, the use of a domed top with an arched body surface rather than a completely flat one, glue adhesive at the neck joint, etc. The traditional manufacturing method is still inherited today.

This instrument is part of the Historic Collection, Gibson's highest-quality electric guitar series, which was launched in 1993. It has rejoined the acoustic lineup since 2020. A series that is a modern reproduction of a specific model year.

The top material of Gibson's original round shoulder body is made of Adirondack red pruce, which is said to have been used in 1942. Furthermore, by applying a special heat treatment that changes the wood at the cellular level right up to the point where it becomes carbonized, the wood is thermally aged to produce a sound similar to that of vintage instruments that have been used for many years. The bracing is also made of red spruce and glued together with glue.The sides and back are made of genuine genuine mahogany, mainly from Guatemalan in Central and South America, resulting in a lightweight overall finish. The neck material is also genuine mahogany, and the fingerboard and bridge are made of East Indian rosewood, reproducing the original materials as much as possible.

The gold banner logo seen in the 40's on the head. Another highlight is the soft V-shaped neck that feels like it sticks to your hand.

In addition to ThinFinish, which is thinner than regular Gibson products, it also uses VintageOriginalSpec., which reproduces the vintage texture. The paint has been artificially changed over time, making it look like dead stock from the 40's.
