Here for sale we have a Gibson J-45 Studio Walnut Electro Acoustic Guitar in Gloss Natural finish. Made in the USA in 2023, this guitar features an all-solid set-neck construction comprising a Sitka Spruce top, Walnut back and sides, Utile neck and 20-fret Walnut fingerboard with matching bridge. Other appointments include Grover Rotomatic tuners, Ivoroid binding, multi-stripe purfling & rosette, Mother-of-Pearl inlays and an L.R Baggs Element Bronze pickup/preamp system. A master volume control is discreetly mounted inside the soundhole. 

The Utile neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the Advanced Response profile providing ergonomic thumb positioning in all registers and allowing for easy navigation up and down the neck. The Walnut fretboard with rolled edges feels pleasant under the fingers and provides a smooth surface for the user to explore, and along with the 16” radius makes bending and vibrato techniques a breeze. The sloped-shoulder dreadnought body design fills the arms comfortably, providing a dynamic and responsive playing experience, allowing the user to really feel the resonance that this guitar produces and providing a sense of intimacy to the playing experience. 

This guitar has a well-balanced and dynamic tone, producing a warm and rich sound, with a strong and clear midrange. The Sitka Spruce top and scalloped bracing contribute to the instrument's excellent projection and sustain, producing a bright and crisp high end that is well-articulated, whilst the Walnut back and sides offer a warm and deep low end that make chords hum and chime. The LR Baggs Element Bronze pickup allows the instrument's voice to be captured organically, displaying the natural voice of this guitar beautifully through an amplifier. A perfect example of why the J-45 has been favoured by singer/songwriters for generations and continues to inspire.
