【Product Description】


■Gibson J-45 Deluxe Acoustic Guitar Square Shoulder WX Bracing 1978


■Features

This is a 1978 Gibson J-45 Deluxe.

It features the rare, deep, and rich tone of the square shoulder period.


While the round shoulder is the standard for the J-45, this model is the Deluxe version with a square shoulder, which was temporarily adopted in the 1970s.

features a square shoulder design. It boasts a more streamlined appearance and a powerful sound

that sets it apart.


Constructed with a spruce top, mahogany back, and sides, this guitar features classic wood materials. The square shoulder design adds a unique

presence, while the narrow neck is ideal for those who prefer a slimmer neck.


The slightly tight and focused sound image created by the angular shoulders truly shines in strumming play.

The deep, robust mid-low frequencies stand out in band ensembles.


Over 40 years since its manufacture, the dry tone and natural aging have combined to create a one-of-a-kind vintage sound.


The square-shouldered J-45 offers a distinct difference from the round-shouldered models.

With its distinctive presence that sets it apart from the rest, we highly recommend considering this instrument.
