2022 Gibson J-45 Standard 12-String - Vintage Sunburst | All Solid USA Slope Shoulder Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar L.R. Baggs Pickup | CoA OHSC

I am offering a Gibson J-45 12-String from 2022, a made in Bozeman, Montana (USA), all-solid 12-string acoustic guitar with legendary slope shoulder dreadnought design, resonant Sitka spruce top, warm-sounding mahogany body, set mahogany neck with slim taper neck profile and 47.6 mm TUSQ nut, elegant rosewood fingerboard with shimmering mother-of-pearl dot inlays, Grover Rotomatic nickel tuners, L.R. Baggs Element VTC pickup system in a beautifully executed vintage sunburst high-gloss nitrocellulose finish with tortoise pickguard and cream bindings in mint condition with black Gibson luxury hardshell case, all manufacturer papers and professional setup with 10-gauge Elixir strings.

This 12-string version of the J-45 continues the legacy of the icon of Gibson's Round Shoulder acoustic line today. The popular all-solid round shoulder acoustic Gibson J-45, is considered an absolute classic and was first introduced in 1942. Thanks to its wide dynamic range with warm mids and powerful bass, it still holds the affectionate nickname “workhorse” to this day.

Like the 1940s original, this modern 12-string version features solid mahogany back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top, with scalloped X-bracing to provide sufficient space for resonance. The rosewood fretboard is adorned with glossy mother-of-pearl dot inlays and the one-piece mahogany neck has a comfortably playable, slim taper neck profile.

The fantastic woods and high-quality workmanship of the Gibson Bozemann workshop, enables a wonderfully warm and exceptionally powerful sound, in which the mids in particular come into their own. The rounded body also provides beautiful projection and a balanced, warm tone with a subtle but dynamic range of colors - ideal for any kind of strumming and picking!

A sound sample of the model can be found at the top of the photo gallery.

In addition, the guitar comes with a high-quality L.R. Baggs VTC Element pickup system, so it also impresses with a clear, authentic acoustic sound when played live.

Truly a great guitar that – typically for a Gibson Montana – combines outstanding sound, playability and aesthetics.
