Gibson J-45 Special - Satin Vintage Sunburst

The Gibson J-45 Special – A Timeless Workhorse with Modern Refinements

Iconic J-45 Tone with Premium Handcrafted Construction

The Gibson J-45 Special continues the legacy of one of the most recorded acoustic guitars in history, offering the warmth, balance, and dynamic response that made the J-45 a staple for musicians across genres. Built by skilled luthiers in Bozeman, Montana, this guitar features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, delivering rich tonal depth with exceptional clarity. The scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and projection, making it an ideal companion for both studio recording and live performance.

Slim, Comfortable Neck for Effortless Playability

Designed for smooth and responsive playability, the utile neck is shaped with a Slim Taper profile, making it easy to navigate across all 20 frets. The rosewood fingerboard, adorned with mother-of-pearl dot inlays, offers a familiar yet refined playing surface with a 12" radius for comfortable chord transitions and fluid lead work. The neck is set with a compound dovetail joint and hot hide glue, ensuring long-term stability and sustain.

"Concert Depth" Body for a Balanced and Articulate Sound

One of the standout features of the J-45 Special is its slightly thinner “concert depth” body, which offers a leaner, tighter bass response than the traditional J-45 Standard. This refined low end allows the guitar to sit perfectly in a mix, making it an excellent choice for singer-songwriters, band settings, or fingerstyle players looking for a more controlled acoustic sound.

LR Baggs Element Bronze Pickup for Plug-and-Play Versatility

Equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze under-saddle pickup, the J-45 Special ensures natural-sounding amplified tone with minimal interference. The active electronics include an easily accessible soundhole-mounted volume control, providing instant tone-shaping without disrupting the guitar’s classic aesthetics. Whether performing on stage or recording directly into an interface, this pickup system captures the guitar’s warmth and dynamics with studio-quality clarity.

Road-Ready Durability with a Satin Nitro Finish

Finished in Satin Vintage Sunburst, the J-45 Special exudes a vintage-inspired elegance while allowing the wood to breathe and resonate naturally. The nickel-plated Grover Rotomatic tuners provide solid tuning stability, while the TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins enhance sustain and note clarity. Paired with a premium soft shell case, this guitar is built to withstand the demands of frequent gigging while maintaining its timeless tone.
