Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good (some obvious signs of playwear, light scratching and dings)

For a player who's always loved the shape, scale, and look of a J-45 looking for something with an increased sonic range, enter the J-45 Custom! At once familiar and altogether different the addition of Rosewood to the sonic equation imbues this classic slope shoulder dread with a more dramatic range of overtones and less of that mid-focused fundamental grunt of the standard J-45. Add to that a deluxe set of aesthetic appointments dripping with Mother of Pearl, Abalone, herringbone purfling, and a very handsome Fire Stripe pickguard and you'll be wowed by both the sound and the looks! 

SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup

From Gibson Guitars

The new J-45 Custom is designed to please J-45 lovers who desire the enhanced tone and look of a rosewood guitar. Hand built on the foundation of the world famous Gibson J-45 Standard, the J-45 Custom incorporates all the charm and style with added custom enhancements from the artisans at the Gibson Acoustic factory located in Bozeman, Montana.
