Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Great
The J-45 is a classic guitar for the singer songwriter who wants a comfortable, powerful dreadnought with a bit more sweetness than you'd get out of a square shouldered dreadnought with the same tonewood options. This specific Elite Amberburst model is in great shape and plays and sounds like a dream! The short scale and comfort of the neck profile made this guitar practically play itself when strumming some chords and humming along in the showroom. The guitar comes with an Anthem pickup from LR Baggs preinstalled and is ready for the stage right now!
From Gibson Guitars
The J-45 is Gibson's best-selling acoustic of all time. 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 2016 J-45 has been refined to carry this legacy to new heights.
