The Gibson 1960s J-45 is one of the most iconic slope-shoulder dreadnoughts ever produced, revered for its warm, woody tone and unmistakable visual character. Finished in a striking Wine Red, this reissue offers a unique take on a timeless Gibson classic, blending vintage style with the J-45’s legendary versatility.

Featuring a Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides, the J-45 delivers a rich, balanced voice with a strong midrange presence, smooth low end, and clear, articulate highs. This tonal profile has made the J-45 a go-to choice for singer-songwriters, folk players, and studio musicians for decades.

The comfortable mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide an inviting playing feel, ideal for both rhythm and fingerstyle work. Known as “The Workhorse,” the J-45 has earned its reputation as a dependable, expressive acoustic that performs equally well on stage, in the studio, or at home.

This guitar has been setup by our in-house luthier and is ready for the stage/studio!  Please refer to our photos, and feel free to reach out with any questions. Condition is as-described.
