A
vintage-correct re-creation of the legendary workhorse with Gibson
Acoustic's J-45 True Vintage! The top of the J-45 True Vintage is made
from top-grade Adirondack red spruce, while the back and sides are
constructed from pattern grade Honduran mahogany, giving the J-45 True
Vintage the same full, balanced expression, warm bass, and excellent
projection that earned the original J-45 its much-heralded reputation.
Selecting the right wood, and the formula to dry it out, are two of the
most central procedures to Gibson's guitar-building process. Beginning
with its first catalog in 1903, Gibson has assured its customers that
every guitar would be built using woods with "the most durable, elastic,
and sonorous qualities," and today's guitars from Gibson Acoustic are
no different.
