The Gibson 50s J-45 Original Ebony captures the essence of the 1950s while offering features designed for today's guitarists.

Inspired by Gibson's famous golden era, this guitar is a subtle blend of tradition and modernity, designed to satisfy lovers of authentic tones.

With a Sitka spruce top and select mahogany back and sides, it combines classic materials to produce a tone that is rich, warm and balanced. These elements, combined with traditional hand-carved X-bracing, guarantee exceptional sound projection and deep resonance.

The mahogany neck, shaped in a Rounded profile, is designed to offer optimal playing comfort. Its rosewood fingerboard, adorned with mother-of-pearl dots, ensures remarkable fluidity for chords and solos.

With its 24.75" scale and 20 frets, this guitar easily adapts to a variety of playing styles, from energetic strumming to delicate fingerpicking.

Aesthetically, the J-45 Original Ebony stands out with its glossy black finish that contrasts elegantly with the vintage details. The tortoiseshell pickguard, typical of the 1950s, and the Grover tuners with cream buttons reinforce its retro look, while the traditional Belly Up bridge, equipped with a bone saddle, guarantees optimal accuracy and clarity.

To meet the needs of modern players, this guitar is equipped with an LR Baggs VTC pickup that offers faithful and natural amplification. The subtly integrated volume and tone controls allow for precise adjustment of the sound.

Complete with a Gibson hardshell case and accessory kit, the Gibson 50s J-45 Original Ebony is an ideal choice for guitarists looking for a timeless instrument that is as enjoyable to play as it is to listen to.
