Gibson Montana J-45 Sustainable 2019 Antique Natural LEFTY

Gibson's 2019 Sustainable series offers a new take on the acoustic guitar, one designed and built with sustainability in mind. This J-45 Sustainable 2019 is constructed with a responsibly harvested walnut back and sides, as well as a richlite fingerboard and bridge made from recycled content mixed with pulp from responsibly sourced and harvested trees. It's about as natural as it gets, all the way down to the hand-rubbed beeswax finish which helps to produce a beautiful, open tone to match the guitar's distinctly organic look. This guitar is left-handed.


About Gibson Montana:

Luthier Orville Gibson founded the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. Ltd. in Kalamazoo, MI in 1902. Its original aim was to make mandolins and mandolin-family instruments. Over the last 100-plus years, Gibson Brands, Inc., as it is now known, has since evolved into the world's premier manufacturer of semi-hollow and hollow body electric guitars, as well as a celebrated portfolio of innovative solid-body and acoustic models.

Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness. And they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy... or they become legend." So wrote Montana author Jim Harrison, perhaps about the master luthiers of Gibson Montana, which produces all of Gibson's acoustic guitars.
