Revered by pickers of all styles for its dry, deep, and thumping sound, the J-45 Special perfectly captures these classic qualities with its traditional spruce-topped mahogany construction. Since 1942, this tonewood pairing has set the standard for the J-45's legendary voice. The J-45 Special pays tribute to its vintage predecessor with a solid Sitka spruce top and scalloped X-bracing, unlocking exceptional touch-sensitive responsiveness and a rich, sweet character. Solid mahogany back and sides complete the build, adding warmth, depth, and crisp clarity to every note. At Sadek Music, the Gibson J-45 Special puts one of Gibson’s most iconic tonewood combinations right in your hands.Accessible iterations of Gibson’s legendary modelsWhat makes this J-45 so special? First, the J-45 Special wears an ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish compared to the gloss finish of Gibson Acoustic’s standard lineup. In fact, this is far from a purely cosmetic appointment, as legions of discerning Sweetwater strummers champion satin finishes. Why? They’re often far thinner and more responsive than a full gloss coat. Furthermore, the J-45 Special sports a slightly reduced concert body depth, resulting in a tighter bass response that allows its voice to slot seamlessly into any mix.Gibson’s steel-string workhorseThe original Gibson J-45 debuted in 1942, during one of the most challenging periods in American history — following the Great Depression and amid World War II. Designed as an affordable workhorse, the J-45 focused on delivering outstanding acoustic performance without the ornate details of Gibson’s higher-end models, making it the perfect companion for working musicians. Over the decades, the J-45 became a staple for countless country, rock, and pop artists, shaping the sound of popular music with its signature dry, thumping tone. Sadek Music is proud to offer this timeless classic, reimagined in the J-45 Special.Gibson Acoustic J-45 Special Features:A more accessible iteration of Gibson’s iconic workhorse J-45, crafted in Bozeman, MT, to the same world-revered standards as Gibson’s premium instrumentsSolid Sitka spruce top with scalloped X-bracing offers a deep, dynamic, and responsive voiceSolid mahogany back and sides ring with a warm and focused character that retains clarity even in dense mixesSlope-shouldered dreadnought design with a slightly reduced concert body depth for a tighter, more focused bass responseUtile neck shaped in Gibson’s famously fast-feeling SlimTaper profile, topped with a smooth rosewood fingerboardStage-proven LR Baggs Element Bronze preamp provides acoustic-authentic plugged-in tonesHigh-performing Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney-style buttonsRosewood belly bridge with TUSQ saddles and bridge pins; TUSQ nutSlick satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish
