Gibson J-45 Deluxe Sunburst 1978

Gibson J-45 Deluxe Sunburst 1978

The Gibson J-45 has continued to support players around the world for 80 years since its release in 1942.This is a representative model of Gibson acoustics that continues to be loved over time.

This time, the precious 70's "J-45 Deluxe" has arrived!

The characteristics of the 1970s J-45 are that it has square shoulders like Martin's dreadnought, rather than the commonly known round shoulders, and the scale is 644mm, which is different from the Gibson scale.The bracing structure is also double X bracing.

The "Deluxe" model is basically the same as the regular "J-45", but there are differences in luxury in terms of looks and decoration.There are no particularly unusual specifications here.The pegs are the type with the original Gibson logo and are not equipped with an adjustable bridge.The string height is standard and it is not particularly difficult to play, so it seems that you can use it without any stress at present.

It goes without saying that the tone is vastly different from that of the current model, but there are certainly some specifications and sounds that only existed on this J-45 from the late 1970s.These are analyzed and reproduced by the custom shop, and when I actually played the real thing, it had a pleasant high note and produced a very nice sound when playing chords with a pick.
