Overview

A legendary acoustic model given L.R. Baggs electronics and a special red wine finish.

One of Gibson' best-selling acoustic models of all time, the J-45 is an icon in the studio and on the stage. Turn heads with this beautiful J-45 Wine Red limited edition. A solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and short-scale produce the power and the nuance in performance that make the J-45 famous. Hand-sprayed in Gibson' artisan tradition with a rich, wine-red finish that gives this classic ™bird a unique and elegant style.

It has a dovetail neck-to-body joint, hand-fitted and secured with hide glue ensures unequalled resonance transfer from strings to body. It has a radiused body for projection and clarit and its nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the tone to mature with age.
