Mint Condition! Never been gigged with or taken out of my home studio. Smoke free and gently loved. Really clean Satin finish, with the faded 50s look. Free from cosmetic blemishes. Refer to photos!

Only selling to make room for a new purchase, but this guitar is a beauty and plays smoothly. It’s a J-45 with onboard piezo - it’s a dream to play.

From Gibson:


The Gibson Acoustic J-45 is the best-selling Gibson acoustic of all time — and for good reason! This balanced, round-shouldered dreadnought guitar features undeniable looks and impressive capabilities. Each J-45 is built in Bozeman, Montana, by passionate artisans, and this latest Gibson Acoustic J-45 '50s Faded acoustic-electric features a nitro satin finish for reinvigorated looks, feel, and tone. With features like gig-ready LR Baggs VTC electronics and a glorious solid-wood construction, this J-45 '50s Faded is a perfect all-purpose guitar. A spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides, a mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard yield distinct resonance packed with equal clarity and depth. It’s a multipurpose masterpiece that Sweetwater players highly recommend having on hand for studio sessions, gigs, and more!


LR Baggs VTC electronics

LR Baggs VTC electronics capture the kind of amplified acoustic tone you’d expect from a world-class audio engineer working overtime. At the core of the VTC system is an LR Baggs Element pickup with tone and volume controls — a unique build that tracks the guitar top’s vibrations instead of string attack. VTC technology saturates amplified tone with extra harmonic content and analog warmth that’s natural sounding yet noticeably better than a standard acoustic pickup. Additional dynamic automatic EQ handles problematic frequencies as they arise with touch-sensitive compression that works with your playing for a more authentic amplified tone that’s tough to beat.
