Gibson J-45 Century 12-Fret Sitka Spruce & Mahogany Vintage Sunburst #21896123

The Gibson J-45 Century 12-Fret is a beautifully crafted acoustic that blends vintage-inspired design with the warm, expressive tone that has made the J-45 a favorite among musicians for generations. Finished in a classic Vintage Sunburst with a thin satin nitrocellulose lacquer, this slope shoulder dreadnought features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, producing a rich, balanced voice with exceptional warmth, clarity, and resonance. The traditional 12-fret dovetail neck joint enhances the guitar's responsiveness, creating an open, full-bodied sound that excels for both fingerstyle and strumming.

A mahogany neck with Gibson's SlimTaper 12-Fret profile is matched with a rosewood fingerboard featuring a comfortable 12 inch radius, standard frets, and classic Mother of Pearl dot inlays. The 24.75 inch scale length offers a relaxed playing feel, while the bone nut, bone saddle, rosewood rectangle bridge, and TUSQ bridge pins work together to maximize sustain, resonance, and tuning stability. Vintage-inspired three-on-a-plate tuning machines with cream buttons, nickel hardware, single-ply top and back binding, and an L-00 style pickguard complete the timeless aesthetic.

Weighing approximately 4 lbs. and factory strung with .012 to .053 gauge strings, the J-45 Century 12-Fret delivers an incredibly comfortable playing experience whether you're in the studio, on stage, or writing your next song. Complete with the Century Series Tweed Hardshell Case, this exceptional acoustic is ready to inspire for years to come.
