The Story

Montana 1960's J-45 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Ebony

The J-45 has been Gibson's top-selling acoustic guitar for years. Nicknamed "The Workhorse" and first introduced in 1942, Gibson's most popular acoustic is now the icon of its round-shoulder, dreadnought line, world renowned for its full, balanced expression, warm bass, and excellent projection. Subtle changes to the bracing of its predecessor—the J-35—made Gibson's J-45 one of most technically advanced guitars of its time. The Sitka Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides provide all of the great tone Gibson's dreadnoughts are known for, and the L.R. Baggs Element VTC electronics ensure your tone is carried over when you plug in. This is a very fun and 1960's limited edition version of the J-45 with an all-around ebony finish and a contrasting white pickguard.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Paperwork
