Gibson J-45 Herringbone All Walnut Antique Natural

What we say:

At A Glance:

Undisputed in it's claim as a classic, the J-45 has been a cornerstone for Gibson's iconic acoustic range since 1942, and this shows no signs of changing!

This J-45 in particular has not only a walnut top but walnut back and sides as well, creating a fantastic tone and allowing the guitar to really sing! The fingerboard is also made from walnut, an interesting material for this part of the guitar but this brings with it a great uniform look to the guitar as a whole.

The Walnut J-45 is an excellent stray from the beaten path for Gibson:  it makes great tonal and visual sense as well as keeping in with the overall vibe of traditional Gibson acoustics. This is a guitar that demands to be played!

Features We Love:

Choice of Tonewoods

Boasting a walnut top, back, and sides, this J-45 has excellent tonewood properties similar to that of Koa. The walnut brings with it a bright, woody sound with warm overtones and a strong voice. Used with the round-shoulder design, you get a great balance of frequencies with just the right blend of warmth and sparkle!

LR Baggs VTC Pickup

This guitar is conveniently fitted with a LR Baggs VTC pickup allowing you to plug in whenever you need to amplify. Producing a natural acoustic sound, you can count on this guitar to sound exactly how you'd expect whenever you plug it in.

Slim Taper Neck Profile

The neck profile of a guitar is greatly important to how it feels when playing. The Slim Taper shape on this model offers comfort for the player and gives access to the higher frets allowing you to reach all the way to the top of the fretboard when you're rocking out! However, this is a Gibson after all, although named 'Slim Taper' there is still plenty to grab on to.

Pros:

• The interesting choice of walnut has paid off big time giving a great sound!
• LR Baggs pickup is incredibly convenient allowing you to amplify anytime
• 'Slim Taper' neck profile feels great in your hand
