The gibson j 45 special is a fresh take on the legendary workhorse built for rich balanced tone and effortless playability. Featuring a solid sitka spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides it delivers warmth depth and dynamic range suited to any style. The concert depth body is slightly slimmer than a standard j 45 making it more comfortable to hold while tightening up the bass response for a focused articulate sound. Designed for smooth playability the slim taper neck profile and rosewood fretboard offer a fast comfortable feel. Grover rotomatic tuners ensure rock solid tuning stability while the l.r. Baggs element bronze pickup provides studio quality amplified sound with a discreet soundhole mounted volume control. Finished in satin nitrocellulose lacquer and paired with a premium softshell case the j 45 special is ready for any stage or session.
