2009 Gibson J-45 ADJ Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Transparent Orange w/ Case

Up for sale, a 2009 Gibson J-45 ADJ in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. A discontinued limited run model first produced for the Japanese domestic market under the direction of Gibson's distributor Yamano, this J-45 boasts a classic '60s look with a large white pickguard, distinctive Soundwave logo of the era, and a custom color gloss Transparent Orange finish.

Tonewoods include a solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a one-piece mahogany neck capped by a slab rosewood fretboard. The traditional slope shoulder dreadnought shape is lively and sparkling, producing a bold, punchy sound with ample projection and woody cut, with the sweetness and soft growl of mahogany when digging in hard with a flatpick. The low end is deep, the midrange is smooth and layered, and there’s a certain bell-like quality and bounce to the plain strings that really shines through. Weighing 4lbs 2oz, this J-45 ADJ has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with fresh 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
