The J-45 has been Gibson's best-selling acoustic model of all time and one of the most recorded acoustic guitars in history, and the J-45 Special brings that legacy within reach at an attractive price point. Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, it features solid mahogany back and sides, a solid Sitka spruce top, and a comfortable SlimTaper neck profile. The slightly thinner "concert depth" body makes it a particularly easy guitar to spend time with, and the satin nitrocellulose finish gives it an understated, natural look. An L.R. Baggs Element Bronze pickup with active electronics makes it stage-ready right out of the box. A premium softshell case is included.
