Equipped with a Baggs HiFi DNA™ system, this J-45 looks like it came from the 50s, but with today’s engineering and technology. Gibson Custom Select offers unique and rare instruments with customized features on existing models. The features of these guitars can include custom finishes, electronics, tonewoods, and more. These guitars are designed by Gibson experts using the same system that is used to create a Made to Measure design. This guitar is based on the J-45 50s Original but has a slight twist with a custom Tangerine Burst finish, with the back, sides, and neck finished in Faded Cherry.\u003cbr\u003eThe J-45 50s Original has features found on vintage J-45 models from the 1950s. While this model is not year-specific, it does capture the spirit of the 50s with its large pickguard, rounded neck profile, Kluson® strip tuners with white buttons, and a silkscreened Gibson logo on the peghead. A solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides is the classic recipe for the J-45, unchanged since the model debuted. While the J-45 has undergone many iterations throughout the decades, the soul of the guitar has remained the same. Simplicity is the mantra of the model, with its three-ply binding on the top of the body with single-ply binding on the back of the body and an unbound rosewood fretboard with dot inlays. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by Gibson acoustic guitars made in the 50s and 60s and finished in Cherry Sunburst, this Gibson Custom Select J-45 wears a custom Tangerine Burst finish on the top, a first on a Gibson acoustic guitar. The vintage guitars that inspired this finish originally wore a Cherry Sunburst finish, but faded over the years from ultraviolet light exposure, transforming the red perimeter into orange and the yellow center into a light amber. This Tangerine Burst was paint-matched to the finish used at the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, on guitars such as the 1960 Les Paul™ Standard Reissue. The solid mahogany back, sides, and neck are finished in Faded Cherry, which is a classic pairing with Tangerine Burst. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Gibson Custom Select J-45 50s Original comes equipped with the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, delivering the guitar’s unique voice and every nuance of your playing with exceptional realism when amplified. Dual transducers are mounted on the bass and treble sides of the bridge plate, and each is independently voiced and paired with its own Class A preamp. These two pickups are then blended into a mono output, allowing each guitar’s unique sound to come through. Not only does the Baggs HiFi DNA pickup deliver high-fidelity sound, but its lightweight construction, coupled with the placement of the transducers and peel-and-stick installation, makes for a non-invasive design. From the string to the saddle to the bridge to the bridge plate, the natural transfer of energy remains largely unaffected, preserving the guitar’s acoustic character whether plugged in or not. \u003cbr\u003ePairing the features of a 50s J-45 with a vintage-inspired finish and the top-of-the-line electronics system makes for a guitar that looks the part and sounds the part. Included with the guitar is a Gibson Custom Certificate of Authenticity and a hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson Custom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46135506272435,"sku":"RS45TBHFPSL1479","price":3599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/3966\/9171\/files\/RS45TBHFPSL1479_1_Body.png?v=1794253644","url":"https:\/\/www.gibson.com\/products\/gibson-custom-select-j-45-50s-hifi-dna-gloss-tangerine-burst","provider":"Gibson","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
