Gibson J-45 50s Faded Mahogany/Spruce Acoustic Guitar – Faded Sunburst New

The Gibson J-45 50s Faded Acoustic Guitar Showcases the World-Famous Workhorse with a Beautiful Faded Finish

The J-45 is the staple of Gibson’s acoustic product line. Nicknamed “The Workhorse” and first introduced in 1942, this iconic acoustic has become the cornerstone of its round-shoulder, dreadnought line. World-renowned for its full, balanced expression, warm bass, and excellent projection, the J-45 has been refined to carry this legacy to new heights. The Gibson J-45 50s Faded delivers full-spectrum sound with incredible dynamic range, warm mids, and tight, punchy bass. Now available with a faded satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish that accentuates the guitar’s vintage vibe and equipped with a modern LR Baggs pickup and electronics package for studio and stage use. A hardshell case is also included.
