Chiming in for a legacy of awesome acoustic guitarcraft, the Gibson J-45 Century 12-Fret is a captivating departure for classic 1940s "Workhorses" with compelling, inspired bends from the time-tested Gibson tradition. Swinging in as part of the Gibson Century Collection of acoustics, the J-45 Century is an otherworldly timeline break that deviates from the history of Gibson's iconic round-shoulder dreadnought.

Way, way back in the early 1940s, Gibson kicked off their all-new J-45 round-shoulder dreadnought acoustic guitar. The now indispensable dreadnought shape served as the basis for lifetimes of American acoustic guitar music and dreadnought builds alike with a bold, full-bodied form and a 14-Fret neck assembly. Nicknamed "The Workhorse" due to its sonic character and versatility, the J-45 became a classic in the Gibson line and universally. Today's J-45 Century 12-Fret explores an alternate route of history with a variations on Gibson neck design and appointments for an overall reverent but alternative dreadnought.

The Gibson J-45 Century 12-Fret sets off familiarly to other Gibson J-45s. An iconic round-shoulder dreadnought body builds up from a classic combination of Sitka spruce and mahogany. Introducing authentically vintage acoustic tones into every performance, this Workhorse dreadnought body is then treated to a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish with cream binding for a rich and smooth feel and aesthetic character.

Here, this J-45 truly breaks the mold with its neck. A mahogany neck enters in the picture at this point through compound dovetail neck joint assembly using vintage-accurate hot hide glue adhesive. The guitar's SlimTaper-profiled neck meets the body at the twelfth fret, in contrast to the usual historic fourteenth. This 12-Fret neck and board length inspire all-new creative directions to take for something to lose yourself in. A rosewood fingerboard joins up here with this neck lined with nineteen frets and Mother of Pearl Dot fret inlays.

This charming 12-Fret J-45 tops everything off with a great lineup of hardware specifications. First, the body is matched with a rectangular rosewood bridge landing at the base of the 24.75" scale with a bone saddle and TUSQ bridge pins. The setup provides a solid connection and transfer of motion string-to-body. At the scale's opposite end, a bone nut lands toward the iconic Gibson headstock adorned with Golden Age Strap tuning machines and cream buttons. This Gibson Century acoustic features a few unique aesthetic appointments including a Gibson L-00-style pickguard as it travels with an included premium Gibson Century Collection tweed hardshell case.

Generations in the making, this J-45 Century 12-Fret is an alternative spin on an icon.

First ball was great!
Color: Black Green, Size: 8 Inch
This ball was great! My dog loves it. I ordered another smaller one. It had no pump and the inside was separated from the outside piece so it couldn’t be pumped up.

Fun and durable
Color: Flag, Size: 6 Inch, Color: Flag, Size: 6 Inch
I have a 5 month old teething Whippet puppy and this toy is a favorite. She loves carrying it around by the straps, playing tug, and trying to chew it. I think it’s pretty tough and durable for someone her size. I could see how a shepherd might destroy it quickly, though. I was surprised to find you have to inflate it, but the pump and needles are included and it hasn’t lost any air over several days of rough play. (I kick it and toss it to her. We tug with the straps. She carries it everywhere.) The material feels like a heavy duty soccer ball, just smaller. It’s the perfect size for her. I’d definitely buy it again.

It's a (smaller) soccer ball with nylon straps. Will no last long for aggressive chewers.
Color: Black Green, Size: 8 Inch
As the item title states, it's a soccer ball with straps. It feels like a soccer ball, but smaller and doesn't make any noises. The 8 inch size just right for my 50 lb dog. He can't get his mouth around the ball, but can bite down on the straps as we kick it around. He also plays and tosses it around by himself. It's also easy to clean. It's a good item, but suffers from two issues. 01) The nylon straps are tough, but not as durable as I though. My dog is aggressive chewer and has managed to chew them up a bit. 02) There is a nylon strap that is longer than all the others, so he tends to focus on that one. After about 15 days of playing with hit, he's managed to chew that strap up to the point that it's almost falling off. It would be nice if all the straps were the same, larger, size.

Highly recommend
Color: Black Green, Size: 8 Inch
I was skeptical that it would hold up to our aggressive chewer puppy (staffyX) - especially during teething. But it has survived past teething into adult chompers and is still fantastic! Its his favorite outside toy, especially the tags make it fun (and those have been holding up well too). If/when it fails, I'll buy another one.

great design, poor overall quality
Color: Black Green, Size: 8 Inch
My dog loves these balls. The "tags" are a great design. The problem I have is the quality as they aren't tough enough. He goes through them pretty quickly tearing off the tags and puncturing the ball. He doesn't get that these actually cost money! Each one also comes with a small pump, which I guess is great for a one time buy?, but man, if you don't own a pump just buy one and keep one. I have no use for several of these cheap pumps. How about offering the pump as an add-on for a dollar or two?
