Gibson J-45 Rosewood, 2001

Gibson / 2001 J-45 Rosewood

Are you drawn to Gibson’s rugged looks and playability, but find that the earthy, dry sound of the classic mahogany body lacks the richness of harmonics and depth in the low end?

You want a sound that’s more lustrous and expansive, while retaining the J-45’s comfortable playability and crisp strumming response.
For practical players seeking the best of both worlds, it’s only natural to feel that standard specifications have their limits when it comes to expressiveness.

This special J-45, featuring rosewood sides and back, is the perfect answer to your high standards.

—The Exquisite Range Produced by Rosewood

Setting it apart from the standard mahogany models, it delivers deep, resonant bass and crystal-clear, sparkling highs with excellent sustain.
The J-45’s signature attack is complemented by rich sustain, boasting versatile expressiveness that handles everything from singing while playing to delicate arpeggios.

—An Elegant Appearance Befitting a High-End Model

Featuring rosewood sides and back with a beautiful, deep hue, along with hardware such as gold tuning pegs.
Its premium feel and dignified presence—a cut above the regular model—make it a standout on stage.

—A well-aged, Montana-made tone
This instrument was crafted at the Bozeman factory in the early 2000s, a period renowned for its high-quality production.
After approximately 25 years, the wood has dried to just the right degree, and you can enjoy a sound that’s ready to play right out of the box—one that has lost the harshness typical of a New instrument—from the very day you purchase it.

Rosewood J-45s are produced in limited quantities, and the number of high-quality early 2000s models—which have matured just enough to deliver a well-rounded sound while maintaining practical playability—becoming available on the market is decreasing year by year.
With a rich, lustrous sound entirely distinct from the mahogany models, this guitar is sure to become your own unique weapon—one that no one else possesses.

Please come experience the one-of-a-kind rosewood J-45 sound for yourself.
