Sitka spruce & mahogany

As already proven in the classic model, the Gibson J-45 Century 12-fret acoustic guitar also features the classic round-shoulder design and relies on a classic tonewood combination. The flat-top model features a solid Sitka spruce top for a radiantly clear overtone spectrum, which is complemented by the warm, centre-emphasised sound of the solid mahogany body. The neck transition, which is moved to the 12th fret, moves the rosewood bridge deeper into the body, giving the instrument its unique response for J-45 models, which is especially fun for fingerpickers.

Traditional Gibson appointments

The hardware equipment of the Gibson J-45 Century 12-Fret Ebony also remains true to its US roots. A saddle and a bridge inlay made from real bone ensure the most direct possible resonance transfer to the slim taper mahogany neck and the rosewood bridge. In addition, six bridge pins made from GraphTech's proprietary TUSQ material are used. The equipment is completed by authentic "3-on-a-Plate" tuners with cream buttons, which not only give the J-45 Century 12-Fret absolute tuning stability, but also its iconic headstock look.
