Gibson J-45best-Seller Since

Pros: Classic design, excellent construction, balanced sound
Cons: Not as loud as a jumbo acoustic guitar

Gibson first introduced its J-45 model in the 1940s, and marketed it as the "Workhorse" of the company's acoustic guitar line. The J-45 has been in production since that time, and the model has always been sort of a flagship for Gibson's ...

Pros: Workmanship, materials, sound, lasting value, hard shell case
Cons: None that I could see

Gibson J-45 This style dates back to the 1940s and has been continuously popular since introduced. The J-45 has such a sterling reputation among musicians it has earned the moniker “the Workhorse” since it always comes through and has been so ...

Gibson J-45 - A Venerable American Classic...and why you should own one. To understand the heart, soul and relevance of the J-45 (and the true passion of this review), one should first visit the history of it. Few guitars hold such a ...

Pros: Punchy, Reliability, Loud
Cons: No pre-amp. Look before you buy. Tad higher action.

Since the late 80's...

Pros: Sound, looks, finish, playability, versatility, ruggedness
Cons: Treble might be a tad soft if you must have the Taylor-style rosewood bite.

I've been playing for 45 years and looking for the perfect guitar. Even had a $3000 custom built luthier box that proved two things to me: 1. there is no "perfect" guitar 2. lovability has nothing to do with price, design on paper, or materials. I spent ...

Pros: Beautiful vintage looks with Gibson's warm, beefy sound.
Cons: Playability is good, but not as easy as Taylor & Martin.

Pros: its a gibson tone quality looks very nice guitar
Cons: inconsistent look around

this guitar has been around for a long time for a reason playability with a shorter scale length, tone, looks (no one does a sunburst like gibson) this is an excellent guitar dont let anyone tell you different. flaws hmm well look for a good one thats all i can say gibson is notorious for there inconsistency, but when you find a good gibson thats all you need this is the only gibson i like all the others are too big or too gaudy mine was actually a early j45 made in 1996 i could own this as my only guitar and be happy
