The Gibson J-45 Standard VS is still one of the top models of the traditional U.S. manufacturer from Bozeman Montana. With its timeless look and versatile sound, it covers everything a Western guitar needs. A fully solid construction consisting of a Sitka spruce top and a mahogany body produces a powerful sound with warm bass and defined mid frequencies, making the instrument perfect for singer-songwriters. For accommodating playability in all 20 frets, the manufacturer uses a flat mahogany neck with a slim tapered neck profile and rosewood fingerboard, which harmonizes perfectly with the 43.8 mm wide saddle made of GraphTech TUSQ and a corresponding compensated bridge inlay, so that the instrument intonates cleanly over the entire scale length of 628 mm. High-quality Grover-Rotomatic nickel tuners also make it easy to tune the strings and give the overall appearance a noble touch. Perfectly matched to the round-shoulder construction, the vintage sunburst finish of the top perfectly accentuates the overall appearance of the Gibson J-45 and, in combination with simple multi-ply bindings and a single-ring soundhole rosette, rounds off this appearance in a very aesthetic way. An L.R. Baggs VTC pickup system with its unadulterated sound reproduction also enables a safe performance on stage or in the rehearsal room and can be easily adjusted via a control unit in the sound hole. A sturdy case and a Gibson Accessory Kit are included in delivery.
