------------------------------
The Gibson J-45, a legendary flat-top guitar beloved by musicians worldwide. Since its introduction in 1942, it has been affectionately known as the "Working Horse," a truly exceptional instrument that has excelled in every era and scene. This particular instrument is the "J-45 Custom VS," a custom-grade model with rosewood sides and back, positioned at the top of the J-45 lineup. This is a used 2013 model. It's a stunning instrument with abalone inlays on the headstock and bridge. Specifications include a Sitka spruce top, rosewood sides and back, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, Grover Rotomatic gold tuners, herringbone trim, abalone rosette, firestripe small pickguard, split diamond/lucky charm fingerboard and bridge inlays, scalloped X-bracing, vintage sunburst finish, and standard L.R. Baggs Element pickup. The headstock features a special design with the popular flower inlay. This guitar boasts a gorgeous look that sets it apart from the regular model, featuring abalone inlays on the bridge and fretboard, as well as herringbone trim. While inheriting the gritty sound characteristic of the J-45, it also possesses a refined tone befitting its appearance. It has a deep, resonant bass range and a sparkling, extended treble range. Compared to the J-45, it has longer sustain and a more versatile tone. The installed LR Baggs Element pickup is an under-saddle piezo pickup that cleanly captures the core of the sound, outputting a soft, acoustic-like resonance. It can fully demonstrate its high potential in a wide range of uses, from streaming and home recording to stage performances. There is a slightly large dent on the upper part of the body top, as well as various small dents, scratches, and buckle marks throughout. In addition, there is some tarnishing of the metal parts and thinning of the paint due to age, but the neck and playability are in very good condition. Original hard case included.
