With the Original series, the American traditional manufacturer Gibson revives the popular J-45 models from days gone by and lovingly designs them with the old design of the 1950s. Due to its all-solid construction and expansive round-shoulder dreadnought build, the Gibson '50s J-45 Original LH VS for left-handers produces warm and powerful tones that give the instrument the necessary substance Gibson guitars have been known for since time immemorial. Comfortable playability also embodies the manufacturer's decades of expertise and allows for an accommodating feel, while a professional L. R.

Exquisite tonewoods

For the characteristic sound of the Gibson J-45, the model is equipped with a top made of solid Sitka spruce, which enjoys high popularity among top woods in guitar making. Its stiff yet lightweight nature provides excellent sound transmission and projection with strong mids and highs. The back and sides of the Gibson '50s J-45 Original LH VS are made of solid mahogany, a warm and resonant wood that enriches the guitar's sound with rich lows and pleasant Sustain. In addition to the all-solid construction, the ergonomic round-shoulder dreadnought's voluminous soundbox and innovative Scalloped-X bracing for improved vibration behaviour also provide the necessary assertiveness.

The neck of the Gibson '50s J-45 Original LH VS is also made of mahogany and features a grippy round neck profile and a 42.8mm slim nut. The fingerboard is made of high-quality rosewood, a species that's great for fingerboards, and provides a smooth playing surface for quick chord changes and masterful soloing, while the shortened 628.6mm scale length conveniently reduces the amount of effort required to finger it. Meanwhile, the bridge, also made of rosewood, in combination with a high-quality bone bridge inlay, contributes to efficient transmission of string vibration to the top, while robust nickel-plated tuners guarantee high tuning stability.
