Since its 1942 debut, the J-45 has become Gibson's best-selling acoustic of all time. Lovingly dubbed "The Workhorse," the J-45 is renowned for its full, balanced tone, warm bass response, and excellent projection. The all-new J-45 Faded '50s implements many of the designs that made this model famous, and it's a stellar guitar in all aspects of design.

The J-45 Faded '50s features a mahogany body and a Sitka spruce top, a winning tonewood combination that delivers tight, punchy lows, warm mids, and clear, articulate highs. Its round mahogany neck fits the hand like a glove, and its rosewood fingerboard has a nice, sleek feel. For players who perform in ensembles and louder environments, the J-45 Faded '50s comes equipped with an LR Baggs VTC pickup that allows for amplified use. And with soundhole mounted volume and tone controls that don't detract from the guitar's gorgeous aesthetic, you'll be able to fine-tune your sound on the fly.

Complete with a heavy-duty hardshell case for easy transportation, the Gibson J-45 Faded '50s is an excellent choice for players seeking a well-built round-shouldered dreadnought with a powerful sound.
