Gibson J-45 Standard Heritage Cherry Sunburst

The legendary Gibson J-45 is now better than ever, in a beautiful Vintage Sunburst finish

What is it with Gibson guitars? They have enormous allure and status, including this Gibson J-45 Standard Vintage Sunburst. When you hold the guitar, you just feel that you are holding a top instrument. Part of this appeal is, of course, in Gibson's storied history and legacy. But the sound and looks of this J-45 Standard also play a major role. The combination of the sitka spruce top with the mahogany back and sides give this J-45 Standard its unmistakable character: grand and warm, the ideal accompaniment guitar. You can really tell a story with this guitar, as the J-45 gets shy when you play soft, and screams when you play hard. Beautiful. The mahogany neck has a smart taper profile which makes it very attractive for guitarists with smaller hands. And the J-45 Standard is also completely correct in terms of looks. The sitka spruce top is finished in a Vintage Sunburst finish. That color is already beautiful now, let alone in 40 years. Finally, this beautiful acoustic guitar is equipped with the LR Baggs VTC system. This is a top of the bill pickup system that brings out every nuance of every string. Insane. Includes Gibson hardshell case.
