Mahogany bodies, split diamonds and ebony fretboards make for an eye-catching guitar from Gibson.
The Gibson range of Custom guitars has usually been reserved for electrics, mostly Les Pauls and Explorers, but Gibson have unveiled an acoustic range of Customs this week; ebony fretboard and split diamonds on display!
J-45 Custom
The classic Gibson J-45 features that players demand are all here, including a Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a mahogany SlimTaper™ neck with a 24.75” scale length.
