You get a beautiful guitar that sounds amazing anywhere with the Gibson CJ-165 EC Rosewood Modern Classic. Gibson CJ-165 EC Rosewood Modern Classic at a Glance:
Modern Classics, improved Delivering quality craftsmanship and classic style, Gibson guitars will always be of the best in the world. Yet, the same technological developments that constantly change and revolutionize the audio industry are also impacting the needs and wishes of modern musicians: Gibson knows this. With the release of the Modern Classic line, Gibson gives a nod to the modern guitarist - the guitarist who needs onboard electronics, cutaways to reach the uppermost frets, modified neck profiles, and setups that allow playability - no matter the style of playing. With these features in mind, Gibson redesigned the entire Modern Classic line to give us premium, handcrafted guitars that play easier, intonate better, sound great plugged in, and stay in tune even better than before. These guitars feature the latest design advancements, including radiused, or rolled fingerboard edges, giving you a fast, comfortable feel. And, with string height lower at the nut, these guitars will also play even easier and intonate better all the way up the neck. Final Gibson touches, including new soundhole labels, sturdy Grover tuners, and premium Fishman pickups, make it easy for you to take your favorite traditional-style Gibson acoustic onto the modern stage with confidence! Quality construction All Modern Classic guitars are handcrafted by Gibson in Bozeman, MT, from premium tonewoods and components. Thanks to its smaller size and these select tonewoods, The Gibson's CJ-165 EC Rosewood Modern Classic gives you balanced, bright tone. Its solid Sitka spruce top features specially designed 1930s-style wide-scalloped X-bracing, which gives the CJ-165 EC Rosewood Modern Classic great clarity and projection for a small-bodied guitar. The rosewood back and sides also contribute to the full sound, and a sloping single cutaway gives you access to the entire ebony fingerboard, which tops a mahogany neck. Classy mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays adorn the neck, and the body is bound with a four-ply Sitka spruce top and single-play Indian rosewood back and sides. A premium V-profiled Mahogany neck with an Ebony fingerboard and distinctive mother of pearl inlays all help set the CJ-165 EC Rosewood Modern Classic apart from the rest. Gibson added Grover Rotomatic tuners and top-of-the-line Fishman pickups ensuring that the CJ-165 EC Rosewood Modern Classic will sound great when you're playing out live! Natural-sounding electronics Equipped with the revolutionary Fishman Ellipse Aura system, the CJ-165 EC Rosewood Modern Classic allows acoustic musicians to easily and precisely reproduce the sound of an acoustic guitar as if it miked in a professional studio. The Fishman Ellipse Aura system was programmed to conjure studio sounds with Class A mic pres and a mix of vintage and modern microphones to create Aura Acoustic images that complement the specific tone qualities of the CJ-165 EC Rosewood Modern Classic. SJ-200 body style Gibson's SJ-200 guitars were originally built to cut through the loudest acoustic ensembles, allowing them to compete with the mandolins and banjos that were prevalent in "pre-amplified" times. The CJ-165 EC Rosewood Modern Classic is a slightly smaller, 15" version of the classic SJ-200s, but don't let its smaller size alter your expectations! The CJ-165 EC Rosewood Modern Classic sings with all the resonance of a larger guitar, pumping out a throaty tone that's equally great for hi-octane strumming and delicate fingerpicking. Everyone from rockers to country artists to blues greats choose SJ-200 styled guitars for their incredible sound, projection, build quality, and, let's face it, stunning looks. Gibson CJ-165 EC Rosewood Modern Classic Features:
Gibson: Don't Mess with a Good Thing Gibson guitars have been around for well over a century. When guitarists are looking for an outstanding combination of superb tone and playability along with great looks and gorgeous finishes, the choice for most of those 100 plus years has been Gibson. From their amazing collection of fine acoustics to the electric guitars that literally rewrote music history, Gibson guitars have been on almost every chart-topping album from artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream and Led Zeppelin. These "first call" instruments also cross an enormous array of diverse styles, from folk and country to blues and hard rock. With that resume, it's not surprising that so many of Gibson's best-selling instruments have changed little over the decades. Because there's just no sense in messing with a good thing!
