It has earned its name as “The Workhorse” due to its wide acceptance, no-nonsense simplicity, and understated elegance. It’s one of the most recorded acoustic guitars in history and Gibson’s best-selling acoustic model of all time. Handcrafted with care in Bozeman, Montana, by Gibson’s expert acoustic luthiers, the new Gibson J-45 Special offers players a USA-built Gibson acoustic guitar at a very attractive price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J-45 Special has a round shoulder body constructed using genuine solid mahogany for the back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top. The top is reinforced with our traditional scalloped X-bracing. This combination of tonewoods delivers a warm, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that is great for any musical genre. The “concert depth” body is slightly thinner than on a J-45 Standard, giving the J-45 Special a leaner and tighter bass response that sits perfectly in the mix and also makes it easier to hold. The utile neck is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint, and like all Gibson acoustic guitars, it is affixed with hot hide glue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck has a comfortable and fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile, and the rosewood fretboard has a 12” radius and is adorned with simple mother-of-pearl dot inlays and is fitted with 20 standard frets. The traditional belly-up rosewood bridge is equipped with a TUSQ® saddle, and the nut and bridge pins are also TUSQ. High-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuners ensure solid tuning stability. The J-45 Special is finished in satin nitrocellulose lacquer. It comes with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze under-saddle piezo pickup with active electronics and an easily accessible soundhole-mounted volume control pre-installed for studio-quality plug-and-play anywhere. The J-45 Special also comes with a premium soft shell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Mahogany Back and Sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Sitka Spruce Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood Fretboard with Mother of Pearl Dot Inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrover Rotomatics Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTUSQ Nut, Saddle, and Bridge Pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL.R Baggs Element Bronze Under-Saddle Pickup and Active Preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoundhole-Mounted Volume Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium Soft Shell Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Style: Round Shoulder\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: J-45\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eTop: Solid Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBack: Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eSide: Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBracing: Traditional Scalloped X-bracing\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Single Ply Cream, Top and Back\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfile: SlimTaper\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 628.65 mm \/ 24.75 in\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 304.8 mm \/ 12 in\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Utile\u003cbr\u003eFret Count: 20\u003cbr\u003eFrets: Standard\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: TUSQ\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 43.815 mm \/ 1.725 in\u003cbr\u003eInlays: Mother-of-Pearl Dot\u003cbr\u003eJoint: Compound Dovetail Neck-to-body Joint; Hot Hide Glue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Traditional Belly Up; Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eSaddle Material: TUSQ\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines: Grover Rotomatic\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Teardrop; Tortoise\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Adjustable\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod Cover: 2-ply Black\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pins: TUSQ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnder Saddle Pickup: L.R.
