LIMITED EXCLUSIVE GIBSON MONTANA MODELS

1942 J-45 LEGEND SUNBURST
The Limited 1942 J-45 Legend Sunburst with Thin Natural Cure finish was originally designed by and built exclusively for Japanese retailers, but we’ve got it. Built now exclusively for CME, this J-45 is constructed exactly like it was in 1942, down to the traditional, hand-scalloped X-bracing with hot hide glue on both the top and back for better tonal response. The mahogany neck is carved to a pre-war profile and the body features period-correct tone woods like mahogany back and sides and a thermally aged Adirondack red spruce top. A spectacular, vintage-inspired tribute to an iconic guitar at its peak.

1960S J-45 EBONY
Available for the first time in the United States and manufactured exclusively for Chicago Music Exchange, the vintage-inspired Gibson Montana Limited 1960s J-45 Ebony was initially built solely for Japanese retailers and is constructed to historic specs, including the original non-scalloped X-bracing, as well as period-correct components like a bone nut and saddle and famous Ebony finish.
