Seller's description

Brand new Century acoustic models now in stock at Rudy’s Music! Based on ‘30s era models, these new models are super affordable and come with vintage inspired specs and cases. From Gibson: "Since the 1930s, the full-sized, round shoulder acoustics from Gibson have become the most recorded acoustic guitars in American music history, delivering expressive tone, superior warmth, and note-to-note balance that makes them stand apart from other acoustic guitars.

With a 12-fret neck joint, the neck is shorter and the position of the bridge plate is relocated, which places it further from the body’s waist and closer to the center of the widest area of the body, where it can drive the top more efficiently, making the guitar more comfortable to hold and play and resulting in a tone that is warm, punchy, and resonant and that responds ideally to the dynamics of fingerstyle players and players with a lighter picking attack.  While this is not the first J-45 to feature a 12-fret neck, such models have previously been limited to artist signature models and limited-run releases from Gibson Custom, making them relatively rare and somewhat difficult to find. Now, the beautiful tone of a 12-fret neck is available to all in the form of the Gibson J-45 Century 12-Fret. Part of the new Century Collection celebrating 100 Years of Gibson Flat-Tops, it features a mahogany
