Carrying on Orville Gibson’s historic pursuit of sonic excellence and aesthetic perfection, the Gibson Custom Shop combines traditional instrument-making techniques, innovative methods, and meticulous attention to detail to craft instruments worthy of its banner-era slogan, “Only a Gibson is Good Enough.”
This instrument exclusively features woods hand-picked by CME’s expert guitar-buying team at the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, paired with one of our favorite finishes, plus a thoughtful combination of preferred fingerboards, neck profiles, pickups, and hardware, to make this customized Gibson guitar.
The J-45 is the most popular Gibson acoustic model of all time. Its distinctive tone has made it the choice of musical legends across genres for decades. Now, the Gibson Custom Shop is proud to introduce the new J-45 Custom. The classic J-45 features that players demand are all here, including a Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a mahogany SlimTaper neck with a 24.75” scale length. The J-45 Custom takes things to the next level with Les Paul™ Custom-inspired cosmetics, including an Ebony nitrocellulose lacquer finish, multi-ply binding on the top and back, a bound Les Paul-style peghead with a Custom split diamond inlay in mother of pearl, a bound ebony fretboard with mother of pearl Custom Block inlays, and gold Grover® Rotomatic® tuners. It comes equipped with L.R. Baggs Session VTC electronics and a hardshell case.
