Intriguing Round-Shoulder Dreadnought Shape
Dreadnought body shapes usually feature broad shoulders and a somewhat larger size. Your Gibson J-15 has a slightly more petite rounded-shoulder shape that's instantly recognizable to Gibson acoustic guitar fans -- it's the same shape as Gibson's most popular acoustic, the J-45. In fact, your J-15 boasts the same bracing pattern as the J-45. As you'd expect from a Gibson acoustic, the J-15's dreadnought body brings out a large and powerful sound, so when you hit this axe hard, anyone within earshot hears it loud and clear.Spruce and Walnut -- Bright and Tight
Spruce is an overwhelmingly popular tonewood choice for the tops of acoustic-electric guitars. It features an appealing linear grain pattern that's easy on the eyes, and it can handle scratches and dings better than other woods can. Sonically, walnut brings in an additional helping of brightness without neglecting the midrange. Overall, it's somewhere between mahogany and rosewood, though not quite as dark-sounding. It all adds up to a solid tonewood combination for the Gibson J-15 acoustic-electric.Baggs Element Pickup System
The Baggs Element pickup system on your Gibson J-15 delivers a warm and well-balanced sound for the PA or your amplifier. A well-hidden under-saddle transducer holds up well to atmospheric changes, and remains stable and secure if you like to move around a lot while you play. This Baggs pickup delivers clean and consistently well-articulated output, strum after strum. A removable and unobtrusive volume control rests snugly inside the soundhole for easy access.Walnut and Maple Neck for Smooth Melodic Sailing
Maple and walnut are a great tonewood pairing, bringing brightness and crispness to the game. Your fingers are in for hours of smooth sonic sailing as they navigate their way along the J-15's smooth walnut 20-fret fingerboard. Whether you're going for intimate folk-sounding chord changes, or looking to fly around the fretboard, this neck will always play with a welcoming and satisfying feel.Features:
