J-45 Anniversary Limited Edition - Cremona Burst

From Gibson:

"In celebration of 100 Years of Gibson Flat-Tops, Gibson Custom is proud to introduce the J-45™ Anniversary Limited Edition. Part of a special Anniversary Collection of five iconic acoustic models, with only 100 guitars of each model available, this stunning and collectible J-45 is crafted under the big skies of Bozeman, Montana, and built to inspire for generations.  

The J-45 Anniversary Limited Edition features mahogany back and sides paired with a select bear claw Sitka spruce top, delivering not only classic J-45 tone, but also exceptional beauty. The back is framed by multi-ply binding. The top features multi-ply binding with abalone and an abalone rosette. 

The mahogany neck has a comfortable SlimTaper™ profile. The bound rosewood fretboard is equipped with 20 standard frets and adorned with mother-of-pearl dot inlays. The single-ply bound headstock proudly displays the vintage script-style “The Gibson” logo, which is also inlaid in mother of pearl. The headstock comes equipped with a bone nut and gold-plated Grover® open-back tuning machines. 

The teardrop pickguard is tortoise-shell-colored. The rosewood belly-up bridge is equipped with a bone saddle and TUSQ® bridge pins, and features pyramid carvings on the bridge wings, just like the earliest Gibson flat-top models.  

The J-45 Anniversary Limited Edition is finished in a historic Cremona Burst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer and comes craftory-equipped with L.R. Baggs™ VTC electronics, with a piezo under-saddle sensor and active preamp. The soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls are easily accessible by the player while remaining all but invisible to the audience. It comes packaged in a Gibson Custom hardshell case, along with a Certificate of Authenticity. 

The J-45 is Gibson’s best-selling acoustic model of all time. It is world-renowned for its full, balanced expression, warm bass, and excellent projection. First introduced in 1942 and nicknamed “The Workhorse” due to its wide acceptance, no-nonsense simplicity, and understated elegance, it is one of the most recorded acoustic guitars in history and the cornerstone of the Gibson round-shoulder dreadnought line. Here is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a limited-edition J-45 celebrating a century of Gibson flat-top acoustic guitar luthiery. Act fast and get yours while they’re still available."
