This Gibson J-45 Custom (2016) is a high-end, rosewood-back version of the classic J-45, combining vintage Gibson style with more luxurious materials and modern upgrades. Compared to a standard J-45 (mahogany), the Custom’s rosewood body gives more bass, sparkle, and complexity. Visually more decorative and “Custom Shop” feeling than the usual workhorse J-45.

This guitar has had a minor repair to a crack on its side.

This instrument has been carefully inspected, professionally set up, and thoroughly tested by our in-house technician.
