A thunderous J-45 is one of the archetypal vintage American guitar sounds. My R-45 is available in a natural or 1940s-style tobacco-burst finish. Rather than distinguish between the finishes with different model numbers, I am just calling this model the R-45. My shape is just a bit shallower at the bottom than the original to make playing while seated more comfortable. I have found that a 5” depth at the end graft is not necessary for a huge bottom. The upper bout and waist are just a bit more defined which helps the appearance, and again, make this guitar easier to play while seated.

Available in a short 24.9″ scale in mahogany at the R-45, or with an advanced 25.4″ scale as the R-45A in just about any wood combination.

Supplied with TKL or Guardian case and Waverly open-backed tuners.
