WAYS TO PAY:
The Gibson J-45 has a long and storied history, dating back to its introduction in 1942. Nicknamed "The Workhorse," it has become a best-selling acoustic guitar for Gibson, known for its versatile sound and robust construction. This iconic round-shoulder dreadnought model has served as a reliable instrument for countless musicians across genres. The J-45 Standard Cherry builds on this legacy, offering a refined version of this classic design.
The core of the J-45 Standard Cherry's sound lies in its tonewood combination. A Sitka spruce top provides clarity and projection, while mahogany back and sides contribute warmth and a balanced midrange. This combination results in a sound that is well-suited for both strumming and fingerpicking, with a tight, punchy bass response. The traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing further enhances the guitar's resonance and projection.
The guitar's neck features a comfortable slim taper profile, making it easy to play for extended periods. The Indian rosewood fingerboard with a 12-inch radius provides a smooth playing surface, and the mother-of-pearl dot inlays offer a classic aesthetic. The 24.75-inch scale length is a standard for many acoustic guitars, offering a balance between comfortable string tension and projection. The nut and saddle are made from TUSQ, a material known for its consistent density and ability to transfer string vibrations effectively. Grover Rotomatic tuning machines ensure stable and accurate tuning.
The J-45 Standard Cherry is built with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint, secured with hot hide glue. This traditional method of construction is known for its contribution to the instrument's resonance and stability. The guitar is finished with a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, which protects the wood while allowing it to breathe and age gracefully.
For players looking to amplify their sound, the J-45 Standard Cherry comes equipped with an LR Baggs VTC pickup system. This system features a soundhole-mounted volume and tone control, providing convenient access to adjust the amplified signal. The 1/4" endpin jack allows for easy connection to an amplifier or PA system.
Finally, the Gibson J-45 Standard Cherry comes with a Gibson hardshell case, providing excellent protection for the instrument during transport and storage.
