The Story

Montana J-45 Custom Acoustic Guitar Vintage Sunburst

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. This J-45 Custom model integrates vintage appointments with modern features. The Sitka Spruce top and Rosewood back and sides provide all of the great tone Gibson's dreadnoughts are known for. Extensive Pearl and Abalone inlay, including the multi-ring rosette and Floral headstock inlay, complement the gorgeous Vintage Sunburst finish for a look that perfectly complements the sound. The L.R. Baggs Element VTC electronics ensure your tone is carried over when you plug in.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Paperwork
