Entering as part of the Gibson Century Collection of acoustics, the J-45 Century is an alternate timeline spin on Gibson's iconic round-shoulder dreadnought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWay back when in the early '40s, Gibson launched their J-45 round-shoulder dreadnought acoustic guitar. The now indispensable dreadnought shape served as the basis for generations of American acoustic guitar music and dreadnought builds alike with a bold, full-bodied form and 14-Fret neck assembly. Nicknamed \"The Workhorse\" for its versatility and sonic zest, the J-45 became a classic in the Gibson line and out. Today's J-45 Century 12-Fret explores an alternate route of history with a different angle on neck design and appointments for something reverent but altogether fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Gibson J-45 Century 12-Fret kicks off familiarly to other Gibson J-45s. The model's iconic round-shoulder dreadnought body assembles from a classic combo of Sitka spruce and mahogany. Introducing authentically vintage acoustic voices into every performance, this Workhorse dreadnought body is then decked in a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish with cream binding for a smooth, rich, aesthetic character and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's here where this J-45 bends from tradition with its neck. A mahogany neck joins in the picture at this point through compound dovetail neck joint assembly using vintage-accurate hot hide glue adhesive. The SlimTaper-profiled neck meets the body at the twelfth fret, in contrast to the usual historic fourteenth. This 12-Fret neck and board length inspires all-new playing angles to the J-45 for something to certainly write home about. A rosewood fingerboard joins here with this neck as it is lined with nineteen frets and clean Mother of Pearl Dot fret inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis charming 12-Fret J-45 tops everything here off with a lineup of fine hardware appointments. 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. This setup makes for a sturdy connection and solid transfer of motion string-to-body. At the scale's opposite end, a bone nut lands toward the iconic Gibson headstock lined with Golden Age Strap tuning machines with 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\u003eA century in the making, this J-45 Century 12-Fret does it all with style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Highlight --\u003e \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":"20146007","offer_id":55470722187432,"sku":"OCRS4C12AN|||20146007","price":2399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/OCRS4C12AN-gibson-j-45-century-12-fret-acoustic-guitar-vintage-amber-1_cdc65dc1-290d-43d9-8925-d3bfacbe5f0d.png?v=1777383739","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/gibson-j-45-century-12-fret-acoustic-guitar-vintage-amber","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
