First introduced in 1942, the Gibson J-45 has remained a mainstay Gibson acoustic model. It has earned its name as The Workhorse due to its wide acceptance, no-nonsense simplicity, and understated elegance. Its one of the most recorded acoustic guitars in history and Gibsons best-selling acoustic model of all time. The all-new J-45 Special builds on this rich history and brings the magic of this iconic model to the masses.

The J-45 Special features a traditional round-shouldered body crafted from solid Mahogany and solid Sitka Spruce. The classic scalloped X-bracing design allows the top to vibrate freely, resulting in a powerful tone. This combination of tonewoods delivers a warm, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that is perfect for any style of music. The concert depth body is slightly thinner than on a J-45 Standard, giving the J- 45 Special a leaner and tighter bass response that sits perfectly in the mix and also makes it easier to hold. 

The Utile neck is attached to the body with a compound dovetail joint and is affixed with hot hide glue, which ensures great stability no matter the situation. The neck has a comfortable feeling SlimTaper profile, which allows for quick, fast movements. The Rosewood fretboard has a 12 radius, 20 frets, a 24.75 scale length, a 43.815mm nut width, and mother-of-pearl dot inlays, which look super slick.

High-quality Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure excellent tuning stability, theyll never let you down. This guitar is also equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze active under-saddle piezo pickup and active preamp with an easy-to-access soundhole-mounted volume control, so its stage and studio-ready at a moments notice. Other features include a belly-up rosewood bridge, and TUSQ saddle, nut, and bridge pins.
