Gibson 60s J-45 Original Fixed Bridge | Vintage Sunburst w/HiFi DNA Pickup

The Gibson J-45 is one of the most iconic acoustic guitars ever made. In fact, it's Gibson's best-selling acoustic guitar of all time! It originally launched back in 1942 and since then, it has gone on to be used on countless legendary recordings and records. With its full, rich tone and effortless playability, it's easy to understand why players love it!

This 60s J-45 Original Fixed Bridge is a great way to experience what makes the J-45 such a fan favourite. These guitars are all hand built in Bozeman, Montana, in Gibson's dedicated acoustic factory. Their team is highly skilled and dedicated to making the best instruments possible, which enables you the player to buy with confidence and focus on the fun part, actually playing guitar!

Featuring a round-shouldered dreadnought body crafted with a solid Sitka Spruce top, and solid Mahogany back and sides. This tonewood combination, in conjunction with the scalloped X-bracing, delivers a powerful tone that's extremely fun to play. J-45s are known for their rich mid-range, punchy bass, and overall warmth, and these guitars certainly have all of those qualities.

Visually, this models stylings are inspired by the 1960's era, including the larger pickguard shape used during this period - the tortoiseshell blends beautifully with the classic Vintage Sunburst finish. The Rosewood belly-up Fixed Bridge with a Bone saddle provides enhanced tuning stability as well as reducing any concerns about future bridge lift.

The Round Mahogany neck is super comfortable and great for playing chords, as well as fingerstyle playing. The Rosewood fingerboard feels super smooth under your fingers. It features 20 standard frets, a 12" radius, a 24.75" scale length and classic Mother-of-Pearl dot inlays.

One of the most important features of this guitar is the LR Baggs HiFi DNA pickup, which LR Baggs designed in close collaboration with the Gibson Montana team. This pickup is exclusive to Gibson guitars and is designed to deliver an amplified version of the guitar's natural voice without drastically altering or affecting the guitar's tone. This active system uses two lightweight sensors mounted on the internal bridge plate. The sensors are matched with optimised individual preamps to deliver a full-bodied amplified acoustic tone that lets the guitar's character and personality come through. The system also includes volume and tone controls, which are mounted in the soundhole, so you can quickly adjust your tone if needed.

Other key features of this guitar include Grover cream button tuners, TUSQ bridge pins, Bone nut and a high-quality Gibson-branded hardshell case. If you've ever wanted to own a J-45, this is a great place to start!
