One of the most famous of the Gibson round shoulder models is the J-45™—the famous “Workhorse,” which was first introduced in 1942 and has gone on to become the best-selling Gibson acoustic model of all time. The nickname comes from its no-nonsense simplicity, understated elegance, and widespread use on stages and in recording studios worldwide.  Now, Gibson is proud to introduce a new version of this legendary model: the J-45 Century 12-Fret. It retains many of the classic features that players love about the J-45, but features a 12-fret neck-to-body joint instead of the standard 14-fret joint. Why is this important? With a 12-fret neck joint, the neck is shorter and the position of the bridge plate is relocated, which places it further from the body’s waist and closer to the center of the widest area of the body, where it can drive the top more efficiently, making the guitar more comfortable to hold and play and resulting in a tone that is warm, punchy, and resonant and that responds ideally to the dynamics of fingerstyle players and players with a lighter picking attack. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this is not the first J-45 to feature a 12-fret neck, such models have previously been limited to artist signature models and limited-run releases from Gibson Custom, making them relatively rare and somewhat difficult to find. Now, the beautiful tone of a 12-fret neck is available to all in the form of the Gibson J-45 Century 12-Fret. Part of the new Century Collection celebrating 100 Years of Gibson Flat-Tops, it features a mahogany body with a Sitka spruce top, with single ply cream top and back binding framing the body’s perimeter.  The mahogany neck has a fast-playing SlimTaper™ 12-Fret profile and attaches to the body at the 12th fret with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint that is fastened with hot hide glue, just like all of the Gibson acoustic models. The rosewood fretboard is equipped with 19 standard frets and adorned with simple mother-of-pearl dot inlays. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headstock is outfitted with open-back Golden Age strap tuners with cream buttons and features an early-1900s Gibson script logo decal for a vintage-inspired touch. Another vintage-inspired detail is the sloped rectangle closed-slot rosewood bridge, similar to those found on the earliest J-45 models. The nut and saddle of the J-45 Century 12-Fret are bone, while the bridge pins are TUSQ®. The J-45 Century 12-Fret has a classic Gibson L-00-style pickguard and features a hand-sprayed satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. It comes packed in a premium Century Collection tweed hardshell case and is available in both right and left-handed versions. Pick up a J-45 Century 12-Fret today and experience the sweet tone of a 12-fret neck Gibson acoustic for yourself. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eMahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eSingle-ply top and back\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eThin satin nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eJ-45\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eMahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eSitka Spruce\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Material \u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eRosewood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003e12 in. | 304.8 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets \u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlays\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eMother-of-pearl dot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoint\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eDovetail, 12th fret\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Material \u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eMahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material \u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eBone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfile\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eSlimTaper 12-Fret\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003e628.7mm \/ 24.75in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eRosewood rectangle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pins\u003c\/strong\u003e : TUSQ\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e : Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eL-00 style\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eBone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003e3 on a plate with cream buttons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMISCELLANEOUS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eCentury Series tweed hardshell case\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel \u003c\/strong\u003e: OCRS4C12ANL\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrings Gauge \u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e.012, .016, .024, .032, .042, .053\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs warranty coverage available for my product?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes!
