Swinging in as part of the Gibson Century Collection of acoustics, the J-45 Century is an otherworldly timeline break that deviates from the history of Gibson's iconic round-shoulder dreadnought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWay, way back in the early 1940s, Gibson kicked off their all-new J-45 round-shoulder dreadnought acoustic guitar. The now indispensable dreadnought shape served as the basis for lifetimes of American acoustic guitar music and dreadnought builds alike with a bold, full-bodied form and a 14-Fret neck assembly. Nicknamed \"The Workhorse\" due to its sonic character and versatility, the J-45 became a classic in the Gibson line and universally. Today's J-45 Century 12-Fret explores an alternate route of history with a variations on Gibson neck design and appointments for an overall reverent but alternative dreadnought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gibson J-45 Century 12-Fret sets off familiarly to other Gibson J-45s. An iconic round-shoulder dreadnought body builds up from a classic combination of Sitka spruce and mahogany. Introducing authentically vintage acoustic tones into every performance, this Workhorse dreadnought body is then treated to a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish with cream binding for a rich and smooth feel and aesthetic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, this J-45 truly breaks the mold with its neck. A mahogany neck enters in the picture at this point through compound dovetail neck joint assembly using vintage-accurate hot hide glue adhesive. The guitar's SlimTaper-profiled neck meets the body at the twelfth fret, in contrast to the usual historic fourteenth. This 12-Fret neck and board length inspire all-new creative directions to take for something to lose yourself in. A rosewood fingerboard joins up here with this neck lined with nineteen frets and Mother of Pearl Dot fret inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis charming 12-Fret J-45 tops everything off with a great lineup of hardware specifications. First, the body is matched with a rectangular rosewood bridge landing at the base of the 24.75\" scale with a bone saddle and TUSQ bridge pins. The setup provides a solid connection and transfer of motion string-to-body. At the scale's opposite end, a bone nut lands toward the iconic Gibson headstock adorned with Golden Age Strap tuning machines and cream buttons. This Gibson Century acoustic features a few unique aesthetic appointments including a Gibson L-00-style pickguard as it travels with an included premium Gibson Century Collection tweed hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerations in the making, this J-45 Century 12-Fret is an alternative spin on an icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Highlight --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson Century Collection 12-Fret acoustic guitar model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound-shoulder J-45 dreadnought body shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin-finished Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany neck in SlimTaper 12-Fret profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-Fret neck with compound dovetail neck joint and hot hide glue assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood fingerboard with nineteen frets and Mother of Pearl inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone nut and Golden Age Strap tuning machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRectangle rosewood bridge with bone saddle and TUSQ bridge pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson Century Collection tweed hardshell case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gibson Acoustic","offers":[{"title":"20276005","offer_id":55470722220200,"sku":"OCRS4C12EB|||20276005","price":2399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20376001","offer_id":55470722252968,"sku":"OCRS4C12EB|||20376001","price":2399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/OCRS4C12EB-gibson-j-45-century-12-fret-acoustic-guitar-ebony-1_aa306719-1fb3-4c54-9a4c-74e12dcf5767.png?v=1777383936","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/gibson-j-45-century-12-fret-acoustic-guitar-ebony","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
