Part of the Gibson Century Collection of acoustic guitars, the J-45 Century 12-Fret is an alternate timeline take on the standby round-shoulder Gibson acoustic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBack in the early 1940s, Gibson debuted their J-45 round-shoulder dreadnought acoustic guitar. The now-classic dreadnought shape served as the basis for generations of American acoustic guitar music with a bold, full-bodied shape and 14-Fret neck assembly. Nicknamed \"The Workhorse\" for its versatility and tonal quality, the J-45 became a classic in and out of the Gibson line. Today's J-45 Century 12-Fret takes an alternate route with different neck designs and appointments for something altogether new but reverent to the Gibson legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Gibson J-45 Century 12-Fret starts out familiarly to other J-45s. The model's iconic round-shoulder dreadnought body shape comes together from a classic combo of Sitka spruce and mahogany. Breathing authentically vintage acoustic voices into every performance, this Workhorse dreadnought body is wrapped in a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish with cream binding for a smooth, rich aesthetic look and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, this J-45 breaks from the usual with its neck. A mahogany neck joins the J-45 body through compound dovetail neck joint assembly utilizing vintage-accurate hot hide glue adhesive. The SlimTaper-profiled neck meets the body at the twelfth fret, as opposed to the usual fourteenth. This 12-Fret neck and board length introduces an all-new playing feel to the J-45 for something well worth the visit. A rosewood fingerboard meets with this neck bearing nineteen frets and understated Mother of Pearl Dot fret inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unique 12-Fret J-45 tops off its experience with a suite of fine hardware appointments. First, a rectangular rosewood bridge lands at the base of the 24.75\" scale with a bone saddle and TUSQ bridge pins. This arrangement makes for a sturdy connection and a solid transfer of motion string-to-body. At the scale's opposite end, a bone nut lands at the classic Gibson headstock adorned with 3-On-A-Plate Golden Age Strap tuners with cream buttons. This Gibson Century acoustic features a few unique aesthetic appointments like a Gibson L-00-style pickguard and travels with an included premium Gibson Century Collection tweed hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hundred years on and Gibson's yet to lose their luster. The J-45 Century 12-Fret says it all.\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":"Default Title","offer_id":55451820851368,"sku":"OCRS4C12VS","price":2399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/OCRS4C12VS-gibson-j-45-century-12-fret-acoustic-guitar-vintage-sunburst-1.png?v=1776781297","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/gibson-j-45-century-12-fret-acoustic-guitar-vintage-sunburst","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
