Explanation
Gibson Custom Shop / 2022 J-45 EB
[Staff Comment: Hoshino]
When it comes to black finishes from the 1960s, the 1968 off-catalog color (commonly known as a "rare color") comes to mind.
Unlike the traditional Sunburst and Cherry Sunburst finishes, this model features a monochrome color scheme that looks great paired with the white pickguard.
—Pickguard featuring the Gibson logo
A major feature is the Gibson logo designed on the thick, white large pickguard.
Since many J-45s from around 1968 feature this specification, I believe this one was likely Recruit as well.
- Two-ring rosette
The J-45, introduced in 1942, featured a single ring around the soundhole until 1961, but starting in 1962, an additional ring was added.
This is also a characteristic of the 1960s.
—Thick Neck Grip
A key feature of this model is its relatively thick neck grip, even among current Gibson models with EB specifications.
With its kamaboko-shaped profile that offers a solid grip, this model is highly recommended for those who prefer a thicker neck!
