Gibson J-45 Faded '50s Acoustic, Faded Sunburst Overview
The World-Famous Workhorse With a Beautiful Faded Finish
The J-45 is Gibson’s best-selling acoustic of all time. Nicknamed “The Workhorse” and first introduced in 1942, this iconic acoustic has become the cornerstone of its round-shoulder, dreadnought line. World-renowned for its full, balanced expression, warm bass, and excellent projection, the J-45 has been refined to carry this legacy to new heights.
The Gibson J-45 Faded 50s delivers full-spectrum sound with incredible dynamic range, warm mids, and tight, punchy bass. It is now available with a faded satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish that accentuates the guitar’s vintage vibe and is equipped with a modern LR Baggs pickup and electronics package for studio and stage use. A hardshell case is also included.
