Gibson J-45 Custom Shop 5-Star edition Bolivian Rosewood, USED

The Gibson J-45 Custom Shop 5-Star edition with Bolivian rosewood back and sides is a premium take on Gibson’s iconic round-shoulder dreadnought, renowned for its rich, warm tone and outstanding craftsmanship. This rare and exclusive model elevates the J-45’s classic design with the use of Bolivian rosewood, which provides a deeper bass response and a refined, articulate midrange, enhancing the guitar’s tonal versatility.

The Sitka spruce top, hand-selected for its resonance and durability, pairs beautifully with the rosewood body to deliver a balanced, full-spectrum sound. Whether strumming chords or fingerpicking delicate melodies, this guitar excels in projecting warmth, clarity, and dynamic response, making it ideal for both studio recording and live performance. 

Attention to detail is evident in its Custom Shop appointments, including elegant multi-ply binding, an abalone rosette, and a distinctive mother-of-pearl Gibson headstock logo. The mahogany neck is smooth and inviting, with a comfortable rounded profile that complements the rosewood fingerboard, offering effortless playability. The inclusion of high-quality tuners and a traditional rosewood bridge ensures stability and reliable tuning.

As part of Gibson’s revered Custom Shop lineup, the J-45 Bolivian rosewood edition represents a perfect marriage of traditional craftsmanship and exquisite materials, providing an exceptional instrument that is both visually stunning and sonically inspiring.
