Gibson Margo Price J-45 Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Heritage Cherry Sunburst

One of modern country's most exciting trailblazers, Margo Price meets today with Gibson for her very own Gibson Custom Margo Price J-45. A true labor of love, this specialized dreadnought brings together so much of what makes Price so compelling as a musician – matching fine design and acoustic artistry for one marvelous Gibson model.

Price's unique J-45 model is a wonder of great Gibson acoustic guitar design. This all begins with a classic Gibson J-45 dreadnought body formed from a red spruce top and mahogany back and sides. Bringing together these two quality tonewoods, the Margo Price J-45 plays with a crisp voice ready for the stage or studio. With a slightly thinner body than your usual J-45, this J-45 fits easily under the arm for seamless playability. This playability is enhanced by the red spruce top's traditional hand-scalloped advanced X-bracing pattern which balances and focuses the guitar's acoustic voice splendidly.

In hand, the Gibson Margo Price J-45 connects with a mahogany neck shaped in a Round profile. This profile fills the palm comfortably and matches with a rosewood fingerboard bearing twenty frets. Across the entire 24.75" scale length, this J-45 is effortless to play and inspires lengthy sessions with great Americana style. Concerning its hardware, this acoustic comes equipped with a bone nut and saddle for stably grounding strings alongside Grover Cream Button Strap tuning machines. TUSQ bridge pins and a Reverse Belly rosewood bridge complete the stringing experience with sturdiness and finesse.

Alongside all these considerations for playability, the Margo Price J-45 makes aesthetic and technological statements. First, this guitar comes loaded with L.R. Baggs Element VTC electronics for capturing the great acoustic tonality of this J-45 for live performance or recording. Once on stage, this J-45 impresses with carefully considered aesthetic appointments like multi-ply top and single-ply back binding. This binding job is accompanied by a bright Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish and – le pièce de résistance – the double '50s-style pickguards featuring custom red hawk artwork. Differentiating itself from the pack immediately with its doubled-up arrangement, these two pickguards allude to Price's love for the native bird and the rich American natural spaces they inhabit. This Gibson Margo Price J-45 travels with an included Gibson hardshell case.

A one-of-a-kind piece from acoustic guitar's and modern country's most prolific names, this Gibson and Margo Price collaboration acoustic is an instrument showing off the best of what both have to offer.
