Gibson G-45 Natural LH
Product information "Gibson G-45 Natural LH"
The G-45 Natural (Lefty) is equipped with a Gibson Player Port™. The Player Port is an original Gibson concept from the early 1960s that has been refined by Gibson's acoustic guitar builders to deliver a truly revolutionary sound enhancement that adds a new dimension to the sound. The Gibson Player Port allows you to hear the guitar as you've never heard it before—exactly as your audience hears it—maximizing the tonal impact for an immersive playing and listening experience. The G-45 is part of the Generation™ Collection. Like all models in this collection, it is made in Bozeman, MT, by the same highly skilled craftsmen who make all Gibson acoustic instruments. It features a beautiful solid Sitka spruce top and solid walnut back and sides for a crisp and resonant tone. You'll find the slightly thinner Round Shoulder body exceptionally comfortable to hold and play. The TUSQ® nut and saddle and Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners provide solid tuning stability, so you can spend more time playing and less time tuning. The practical neck with its easy-to-play Advanced Response neck profile is so comfortable that you won't want to put it down. A gig bag is included.

The American Gibson Guitar Corporation, founded in 1902 by Orville Gibson in Kalamazoo, Michigan, first became known for the production of mandolins and banjos. Today the company’s headquarters are in Nashville, Tennessee, and Gibson is one of the world’s most renowned and respected manufacturers of electric guitars.
The model Les Paul, named after its creator Lester William Polsfuss, is one of the most famous and best‑selling electric guitar shapes of all time and established the single‑cut guitar form, which has been copied, adopted and reinterpreted by numerous other manufacturers. The Les Paul is mainly prized for its sound, characterised as warm and full. The humbucker pickup largely responsible for that sound, in its now common design, was developed by Seth Lover at Gibson.
In the early 1960s the Gibson SG appeared as another solid‑body electric from Gibson. Originally intended as the successor to the Les Paul, it became — helped by Angus Young of AC/DC — another rock‑history icon and is the basis for the double‑cutaway guitar type.
With the Flying V and the Explorer Gibson is responsible for two body shapes that, although they were far ahead of their time when introduced in the late 1950s, have over the years also achieved legendary status. They still serve as the foundation for a host of heavy guitars today, for example from makers such as Jackson or ESP.
The Gibson Custom Shop produces custom orders, high‑quality one‑offs and precise replicas of famous models and legendary instrument years. These are often subjected to an artificial ageing process called relicing.
Almost as long as the company has existed, acoustic guitars have also been produced. The J‑45, the Hummingbird, the L‑00 and the SJ‑200 are among the world’s most beloved steel‑string acoustics and were the instruments of choice for Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and John Lennon.
Besides the instruments already mentioned, you can of course also buy picks, bags and cases or merchandise from Gibson with us.
We are particularly proud to host a Gibson Flagship Store in our Frankfurt branch. There you’ll find not only a large selection and exclusive models to try out in person, but you’ll also benefit from the expertise of our Gibson‑trained and certified staff when choosing the perfect guitar.
