hi it's Andre here with Long McQuade
today we're taking a look at Gibson's
iconic j45 acoustic guitar this classic
guitar has been around since 1942 and
has been its best-selling acoustic
guitar and according to history is the
most recorded acoustic guitar in rock
and roll
so we got a lot to talk about let's get
right into it [Music]
the j45 is nicknamed the Workhorse and
for good reason
this guitar was introduced in 1942 as a
substitution for the Lesser expensive
j-35 and this one came in with a
slightly different design and Sunburst
finish which initially was designed to
cover up the blemishes at the seams
personally I've used them on stage in
the studio and not only do they look
great they sound absolutely amazing with
a great mid
really Punchy High and a superb low end
