The Workhorse Feel, Built for Left-Handed Players
The Gibson J-45 Special Left-Handed Satin Natural brings the iconic “Workhorse” acoustic design to left-handed players, with a slightly more streamlined feel for modern use. The solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides deliver the familiar warm, balanced J-45 tone, with clear articulation and a controlled low end that sits comfortably in a mix.
The concert-depth body is a touch thinner than a standard J-45, making it easier to handle while tightening the bass response for a more focused sound. This makes it particularly effective for recording, live performance, or accompanying vocals.
The SlimTaper neck and 12" radius rosewood fingerboard provide a smooth, fast feel that works well for both rhythm playing and more detailed fingerstyle work.
Fitted with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze pickup and soundhole-mounted volume control, it’s ready to plug in with minimal setup.
Includes premium softshell case for protection.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the J-45 Special is a great option for left-handed players wanting classic J-45 tone with a more comfortable feel and reliable stage-ready electronics.
