These acoustics are prized for their fantastic midrange and attack with depth and warmth. It's no surprise that this has been the go-to instrument for countless musicians.  Now it's time to experience one of the most iconic acoustics to ever be made, but as a unique Custom Shop version finish.  It matches the Les Paul's iconic Gold Top finish, as well as the cream binding, pearloid trapezoid inlays and vintage-styled Gotoh tuning machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut it's not just about looks - it's about feel and sound.  Of course a J-45 is a round-shoulder dreadnought, composed of a a body made with solid mahogany back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top.  It has the traditional scalloped X-bracing.  The result is a nicely balanced, focused and thumping tone that is instantly recognizable. Whether strumming or picking, the J-45 works perfect in a variety of settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mahogany neck is set with a compound dovetail joint and comes with the comfy SlimTaper neck profile. The joint provides excellent support for sustain. The rosewood fingerboard guides you with distinct trapezoid inlays with 20 frets.  It's easy to play - this is the sort of guitar you won't want to put done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Gibson J-45 Standard also packs in electronics expanding its versatility. Plug and play anywhere with its L.R. Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup and preamp system. This system provides an incredible acoustic experience plugged in. Easily dial in your sound with volume and tone controls mounted in the soundhole, which are easily quite hidden from the audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny Gibson Custom Shop acoustic represents American crafsmanship at it's finest - and this one is a great example.  Handmade by master luthiers in Montana, it just doesn't get better than a Custom Shop J-45 - and now here's a chance to get a super unique version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis prized acoustic is in excellent condition and comes with its original hardshell case, as well as the Certificate of Authenticity.  The techs in our shop have set it up to play perfectly. and it's ready for it's next home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number: 23435122\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50511261368563,"sku":"84GIB052","price":3499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img48576.jpg?v=1787596164","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.com\/products\/pre-owned-2026-gibson-j-45-standard-gold-top-with-ohsc","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
