It’s one of the most recorded acoustic guitars in history and Gibson’s best-selling acoustic model of all time. 1955 was a significant year in the history of the J-45 model. It was when Gibson lengthened the fretboard and added a 20th fret to the J-45. Around the same time, the teardrop pickguard used on the earlier models was dropped in favor of a larger 50-styled pickguard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted with care in Bozeman, Montana, by Gibson Custom’s expert acoustic luthiers, the 1955 J-45 Light Aged is a stunning recreation of the 1955 J-45. It features vintage-accurate appointments and features. The round shoulder mahogany body has a thermally aged Sitka spruce top to give it the sweet tone of a long-cherished, well-seasoned vintage guitar. The X-bracing is fitted with hide glue, and the body is adorned with multi-ply top and single-ply back binding. The mahogany neck has a Round profile and is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint that is also fitted with hide glue. The neck is capped with a rosewood fretboard that is equipped with 20 standard frets and decorated with simple mother-of-pearl dot inlays. Vintage-style Grover® strap tuners with cream buttons are installed on the headstock, and the nut, saddle, and bridge pins are all bone. The 1955 J-45 Light Aged features Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era. It comes packaged in a 50s-style Lifton™ hardshell case to complete the authentic vintage playing and ownership experience that only Gibson Custom and the Murphy Lab can deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid mahogany back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermally-aged sitka spruce top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany neck with a round profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood fretboard with mother-of-pearl dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrover strap tuners with cream buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMurphy Lab light aged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50s-style Lifton hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBODY \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack : \u003c\/strong\u003eMahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding : \u003c\/strong\u003eMulti-ply Top, Single-ply Back\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish : \u003c\/strong\u003eMurphy Lab Aged Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material : \u003c\/strong\u003eMahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape : \u003c\/strong\u003eJ-45\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Styles : \u003c\/strong\u003eRound Shoulder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracing : \u003c\/strong\u003eTraditional Scalloped X-bracing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide : \u003c\/strong\u003eMahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop : \u003c\/strong\u003eThermally Aged Sitka Spruce\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNECK\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Material : \u003c\/strong\u003eRosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Radius : \u003c\/strong\u003e304.8mm \/ 12.0in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFret Count : \u003c\/strong\u003e20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets : \u003c\/strong\u003eStandard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlays : \u003c\/strong\u003eMother of Pearl Dot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoint : \u003c\/strong\u003eCompound Dovetail Neck to Body Joint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Material : \u003c\/strong\u003eMahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material : \u003c\/strong\u003eBone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width : \u003c\/strong\u003e43.82mm \/ 1.73in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfile : \u003c\/strong\u003eRounded\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length : \u003c\/strong\u003e628.65mm \/ 24.75in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge : \u003c\/strong\u003eTraditional Belly-up; Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pins : \u003c\/strong\u003eBone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard : \u003c\/strong\u003e50s-style J-45; Tortoise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle Material : \u003c\/strong\u003eBone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap Buttons : \u003c\/strong\u003eCream Endpin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTruss Rod : \u003c\/strong\u003eAdjustable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuner Plating : \u003c\/strong\u003eNickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines : \u003c\/strong\u003eGrover Strap with Cream Button\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMISCELLANEOUS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase : \u003c\/strong\u003eLifton Hardshell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel : \u003c\/strong\u003eCSRS4555VSLA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Inlay : \u003c\/strong\u003eGibson Logo Gold Silkscreen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrings Gauge : \u003c\/strong\u003e.012, .016, .024, .032, .042, .053\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51746060140760,"sku":"CSRS4555VSLA","price":8790.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/7705\/4168\/files\/CSRS4555VSLA.png?v=1780115528","url":"https:\/\/gibsonguitaravenue.com.sg\/products\/gibson-acoustic-1955-j-45-acoustic-guitar-vintage-sunburst-light-aged","provider":"Gibson Guitar Avenue SG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
