Seller's description

This Gibson Custom Select J-45™ 50s in Wide Vintage Sunburst features player-friendly upgrades while keeping this J-45 looking like a vintage-inspired instrument. Featuring a red spruce top, hide glue construction, red spruce bracing, and a HiFi electronics system, this J-45 has a lot of power under the hood. Gibson Custom Select is a collection of guitars that have handpicked features like unique finishes, custom electronics, and rare tonewoods.

This Gibson Custom Select J-45 50s brings player-focused upgrades that make this guitar sound more like a vintage example while incorporating modern, top-of-the-line electronics so that sound translates to the stage and studio.

Baggs™ HiFi pickup system, this guitar produces a natural tone through an amplifier or PA system. This HiFi pickup system is non-invasive to the acoustic tone of the guitar, even with it being mounted directly to the bridge plate. This lightweight pickup system retains the natural sound of the guitar while reproducing the iconic soun
