Descending from Gibson's large HG Hawaiian guitar in 1929, and the original "Jumbo," introduced in 1934, round shoulder dreadnoughts are steeped in Gibson tradition and lauded for their pure, rich tones, and impressive volume. With smooth lines, and a curvaceous shape, round-shouldered style guitars invite a close relationship with their respective guitarists: their body shape makes these guitars easier to hold and more comfortable to wrap your arms around.
Gibson's reputation as a fine guitar builder dates back to the late 1800s, and since those humble beginnings, Gibson Acoustic has been making some of the finest, most sought-out acoustic instruments on the planet. When you pick up a Gibson acoustic J-45, you know you're getting the finest tonewoods, quality hardware, and incredible attention to detail. Like all of the quality instruments they build, this Gibson Acoustic J-45 Deluxe was made to sound great and stand the test of time.
