The Legend J-45 is constructed with an Adirondack spruce top and solid Mahogany back and sides to produce authentic, throaty and full-bodied acoustic tone that's pefect for playing blues to bluegrass, folk to pop, and everything in-between.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe luthiers at Gibson's acoustic guitar plant in Bozeman, Montana, approached the J-45 1942 Legend Model from the standpoint of what it would be like if they could go back in time and build a brand new guitar exactly the way they were built in the heyday.

The top is solid Adirondack spruce. Both the top and back are gently radiused to provide tension to the wood. This makes the wood vibrate (like a tuned drumhead), and as a result, projection and definition are greatly enhanced. The MASSIVE, hand-shaped neck is one piece of select, premium grade Mahogany.
