Throwing it over to one of history's most celebrated acoustics, we have the Gibson Custom Shop 1955 J-45 Light Aged. This model, designed to capture the essence of one of Gibson's standby acoustic guitar models, assumes an authoritative and formidable presence for the players of today to get in on decades of fine acoustic craftsmanship.

The Gibson Custom model we have for us today takes on a pretty respected reputation. The J-45 is Gibson's best-selling acoustic guitar model. Its solid tonal foundation, expert craftsmanship, and no-nonsense presentation made it a classic for players for generations. Focusing in on one year in particular, 1955, this model welcomes a twentieth fret, as Gibson originally did in that year. Today's 1955 J-45 Light Aged is handcrafted in Gibson's Bozeman, Montana acoustic guitar factory by Gibson's expert luthiers.

This Gibson Custom Shop 1955 J-45 Light Aged begins with a classic dreadnought body shape brought together by thermally aged Sitka spruce and mahogany. Matching the crispness of the Sitka with the bassy response of the mahogany, the 1955 J-45 Light Aged is an authentic image of Gibson's acoustic voice. The model's Sitka spruce top is subjected to a heat treatment process wherein the wood is artificially aged to deliver on a more lived-in tonal quality usually reserved for much older guitars. A traditional scalloped X-bracing pattern lines the Sitka top for added dynamics, balance, and projection.

At this point, this Gibson Custom model welcomes a mahogany neck in a Round profile. Brought together by a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint with hide glue, the neck is solidly connected for an authentic playing experience. The neck is then joined by a rosewood fingerboard bearing twenty Standard-sized frets and simple yet elegant Mother of Pearl dot inlays.

Simple yet refined hardware specifications and appointments can be found across this guitar, all adding up to a solid, rich, and reliable sum. Multi-ply top and single-ply back body binding appears along the curvature of the dreadnought body for that refined geometric motif. A bone nut, saddle, and bridge pins ground strings stably alongside a rosewood traditional belly-up bridge and Grover Strap tuning machines with cream buttons.

Bringing it all together, the Gibson Custom Shop wraps up this 1955 J-45 with one last treat. Across the entire model, a Light Aged finish treatment courtesy of the Gibson Custom Shop's Murphy Lab division can be found, elevating the entire guitar to a new level. This Gibson Custom Shop model travels with an included Lifton hardshell case.

As one of the Gibson greats, the J-45 lives on in this prestigious Gibson Custom Shop model for players of today to take up and create with.

Excellent monitor!!! Be aware that it does not have internal speakers.
Size: 24 inch 100Hz
Beautiful image. This monitor is excellent and I am very happy with it. However, you should be aware that it does not have any internal speakers and it does not have any audio input. It does have audio output for external speakers or headphones. For me, this was not a problem since I use a USB external speaker for better clarity. The lack of internal speakers was a surprise to me, but I suppose since the lack of speakers mentioned in the product description should have tipped me off.

Great Buy
Size: 24 inch 100Hz
I needed an monitor for my work office and I am glad I got it. It suits the job. The screen is nice and bright, clear, and runs smooth. It is easy to set up but I wish it could swivel around and had some height too it. Overall, It was a good buy for the 24 inch screen. I would definitely buy it again. The sound quality is great,no issues so far with the monitor at all.

Works as it should
Size: 24 inch 100Hz
I started a new job a few months ago and I get to work from home one day a week. They do not pay for you to set up a home office however, so I was looking for a cheap monitor for part of my set up. I came across this one and decided to try it out. I work in client service for a finance company so a lot of what I use it for is email, other conversational programs, and then our custodian software. I’m not doing anything crazy. I have it connected to a name brand laptop and it was very easy to set up with no issues. It turned right on. The picture quality is nice. Again, I’m not doing editing or anything on this so it works for what I need. It does NOT have speakers, so I do need to use the speakers on my laptop( which can be annoying), but again it’s not a deal breaker. I have been using it now for 5 months and it’s been working really well for my set up. I am thinking of getting a second monitor and I would get another of these but also I do want a speaker so I don’t know that I would get this exact version. For the price, if you are looking for something basic for normal work from home needs, this does the trick!
