Cool! I love Gibson acoustics. Got a few myself. There is nothing like a good J-45!

Fantastic, I wish Gibson would do a few more non-traditional colors on their acoustics :dude:

Cobra Burst works beautifully on the J-45, you must be happy Fried okra!!!

Congrats, that looks fantastic and your PG is stuck on right as well! Mine was put on over the rosette ring :##

My 2011 J-45 is getting surgery done to replace the Grovers with drop in White button replacement tuners and to get the PG moved if possible.

Have to echo what has been said, the J-45s have something special going on.

Gibson does special color runs on J-45s from time to time. In the last few years, in addition to corbaburst, they have done cherry, pelham blue and goldtop that I can remember.

I admit that I was initially sceptical when I heard of cobraburst on a J-45, but when I saw one in the store I thought it looked really cool! I did not realize there was binding on the back. That is really nice!

Thanks Guys.

Does anyone know why all the sudden I have stopped getting email updates this week? Anyone else having this problem?

Not a big deal, but kind of a big deal. I noticed today that the nut is bone white, not graphite black as stated on Gibsons website.:hmm

From customer service.
Hi Kris,
The bone nut is actually an upgrade from the graphite. Gibson reserves the right to change specs at any time. We can however as a courtesy send you a replacement black nut in which you can have installed by a guitar technician, this would not be covered under warranty. Let me know if you want us to send the nut, I will need your name, address and phone number.
An upgrade??? Bull$&!?

I would be very happy I got the bone nut instead of the graphite! Bone is what Gibson uses on their higher end guitars.

I replaced the graphite nut on my J-45 along with the Grover tuners. Next step is ordering a nice Firestrype guard for it.
