Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gibson’s Heritage Cherry Sunburst J-45 Standard is a right-handed round-shoulder dreadnought acoustic-electric with a Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing. Its mahogany SlimTaper neck carries a rosewood fingerboard across a 24.75-inch scale. The L.R. Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup brings volume and tone controls to the soundhole for amplified use. Grover Rotomatic tuners, a TUSQ nut and a Gibson hardshell case complete the listed package.
