Our Take:
Gibson takes their original workhorse acoustic back to its roots with the ’50s J-45 Original, delivering an acoustic guitar that is truly reminiscent of Gibson’s golden era. Featuring a classic combo of Sitka Spruce and Mahogany, the ’50s J-45 has all the punch and projection you could want out of your acoustic without being overpowering. With subtly antiqued bindings, a ’50s-era tortoise pickguard, and an LR Baggs VTC pickup installed, the ’50s J-45 is a go-to, whether unplugged or amplified!
Gibson’s Take:
The new 50s J-45 Original model flaunts vintage-inspired detailing from the golden era of Gibson. Classic “Workhorse” materials include a Sitka Spruce top and Select Mahogany back and sides. The multi-ply top and single-ply back binding are subtly antiqued making each instrument look just like a seasoned Gibson acoustic. Appointed with cream button tuners, a 50s-era tortoise pick guard, and upgraded with an LR Baggs® VTC pickup for the best and most natural-sounding tone when amplified.
