Gibson / 1957 J-45
[Playing Video]
[Staff Comment: Hoshino]
You can feel that wild Gibson sound.
It has a tightness yet somehow conveys a sense of warmth in its tone, perhaps strongly influenced by the slot saddle.
Overall, this J-45 features scratches and weather checking from years of use, which only enhance its rugged charm.
