Mahogany back and sides Dry and airy tone; clear, present midrange
Scalloped X bracing Top vibrates freely; remains stable
Hot Hide glue construction Better joining contact for improved resonance

The Gibson J-45 Vintage acoustic stays true to the original in every way, including the same round-shoulder dreadnought body design, an enhanced top built from thermally aged Adirondack red spruce, custom vintage hide glue top bracing, and back and sides constructed from genuine mahogany.
