It has earned its name as “The Workhorse” due to its wide acceptance, no-nonsense simplicity, and understated elegance. It’s one of the most recorded acoustic guitars in history and Gibson’s best-selling acoustic model of all time. Handcrafted with care in Bozeman, Montana, by Gibson’s expert acoustic luthiers, the new Gibson J-45 Special offers players a USA-built Gibson acoustic guitar at a very attractive price. The J-45 Special has a round shoulder body constructed using genuine solid mahogany for the back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top. The top is reinforced with our traditional scalloped X-bracing. This combination of tonewoods delivers a warm, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that is great for any musical genre. The “concert depth” body is slightly thinner than on a J-45 Standard, giving the J-45 Special a leaner and tighter bass response that sits perfectly in the mix and also makes it easier to hold. The utile neck is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint, and like all Gibson acoustic guitars, it is affixed with hot hide glue. The neck has a comfortable and fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile, and the rosewood fretboard has a 12” radius and is adorned with simple mother-of-pearl dot inlays and is fitted with 20 standard frets. The traditional belly-up rosewood bridge is equipped with a TUSQ® saddle, and the nut and bridge pins are also TUSQ. High-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuners ensure solid tuning stability. The J-45 Special is finished in satin nitrocellulose lacquer in your choice of Satin Vintage Sunburst or Satin Wine Red. It comes with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze under-saddle piezo pickup with active electronics and an easily accessible soundhole-mounted volume control pre-installed for studio-quality plug-and-play anywhere. The J-45 Special also comes with a premium soft shell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack: Solid Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Single-ply Cream, Top and Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: Solid Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: J-45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Styles: Round Shoulder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing: Traditional Scalloped X-bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide: Solid Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Solid Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 304.8mm \/ 12.0in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Count: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Mother-of-Pearl Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoint: Compound Dovetail Neck-to-body Joint; Hot Hide Glue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Utile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 43.82mm \/ 1.73in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: SlimTaper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 628.65mm \/ 24.75in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Traditional Belly Up; Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Teardrop; Tortoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle Material: TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Cover: 2-ply Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuner Plating: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Grover Rotomatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Soundhole Mounted Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Jack: 1\/4\" Endpin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreamp: L.R.
