Based on the classic J-45s of the 1950s, these guitars capture all of the J-45's most appealing characteristics--versatility, dynamic response, and elegant good looks--in a modern package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey pair a solid Sitka spruce with solid mahogany back and sides, and together those two premium tonewoods produce a beautifully balanced midrange-forward sound that works wonderfully in a wide variety of musical contexts. Gibson's luthiers attach the solid-wood body to the mahogany neck with a compound dovetail neck joint to maximize resonance and sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaking of resonance, the '50s J-45 Original sports a nitrocellulose lacquer finish that allows the wood to breathe like a vintage instrument. And, they come equipped with a bone nut and bone saddle, which also boosts sustain and resonance. As a result, these '50s J-45s sing out loud and proud!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are also quite comfortable to play thanks to their rounded '50s-style neck, which has just the right amount of chunkiness for maximum playing comfort and a 12\" radius to allow easy chording and bending. Said comfy neck also has a 24.75\" scale length, which means less tension on the strings. This results in a slinkier handfeel, greater responsiveness, and a touch of extra warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result of these clever appointments, the '50s J-45 is capable of handling business in all kinds of situations. It's responsive enough to be a fingerstyle monster, but it is also a superlative strummer. It works great in a band mix, but it's also a marvelous tool for solo performance. Whatever your musical proclivities may be, the '50s J-45 Original will surely inspire you to reach new heights on your musical journey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54193564844307,"sku":"20996046","price":3199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/20996046_lg1.jpg?v=1780349048","url":"https:\/\/wildwoodguitars.com\/products\/20996046-gibson-acoustic-original-collection-50s-j-45-original","provider":"Wildwood Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
