Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.

J 45 acoustic electric cutaway is an amazing guitar. The tones (especially the low’s and mid’s that come from this timber ringer are truly all Gibson. There is a clarity of tone, and volume that is extremely well balanced especially during aggressive play. The vintage sunburst finish and all the appointments make this very sexy cutaway a must have.This is my fifth guitar purchase from zZounds (fourth Gibson)and I have been more than pleased with each purchase, purchasing high end guitars that I have not seen or played, as well as the company.
