Chiming in for a legacy of awesome acoustic guitarcraft, the Gibson J-45 Century 12-Fret is a captivating departure for classic 1940s "Workhorses" with compelling, inspired bends from the time-tested Gibson tradition. Swinging in as part of the Gibson Century Collection of acoustics, the J-45 Century is an otherworldly timeline break that deviates from the history of Gibson's iconic round-shoulder dreadnought.

Way, way back in the early 1940s, Gibson kicked off their all-new J-45 round-shoulder dreadnought acoustic guitar. The now indispensable dreadnought shape served as the basis for lifetimes of American acoustic guitar music and dreadnought builds alike with a bold, full-bodied form and a 14-Fret neck assembly. Nicknamed "The Workhorse" due to its sonic character and versatility, the J-45 became a classic in the Gibson line and universally. Today's J-45 Century 12-Fret explores an alternate route of history with a variations on Gibson neck design and appointments for an overall reverent but alternative dreadnought.

The Gibson J-45 Century 12-Fret sets off familiarly to other Gibson J-45s. An iconic round-shoulder dreadnought body builds up from a classic combination of Sitka spruce and mahogany. Introducing authentically vintage acoustic tones into every performance, this Workhorse dreadnought body is then treated to a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish with cream binding for a rich and smooth feel and aesthetic character.

Here, this J-45 truly breaks the mold with its neck. A mahogany neck enters in the picture at this point through compound dovetail neck joint assembly using vintage-accurate hot hide glue adhesive. The guitar's SlimTaper-profiled neck meets the body at the twelfth fret, in contrast to the usual historic fourteenth. This 12-Fret neck and board length inspire all-new creative directions to take for something to lose yourself in. A rosewood fingerboard joins up here with this neck lined with nineteen frets and Mother of Pearl Dot fret inlays.

This charming 12-Fret J-45 tops everything off with a great lineup of hardware specifications. First, the body is matched with a rectangular rosewood bridge landing at the base of the 24.75" scale with a bone saddle and TUSQ bridge pins. The setup provides a solid connection and transfer of motion string-to-body. At the scale's opposite end, a bone nut lands toward the iconic Gibson headstock adorned with Golden Age Strap tuning machines and cream buttons. This Gibson Century acoustic features a few unique aesthetic appointments including a Gibson L-00-style pickguard as it travels with an included premium Gibson Century Collection tweed hardshell case.

Generations in the making, this J-45 Century 12-Fret is an alternative spin on an icon.

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large, Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large
High quality, big toy, perfect for a medium to large size dog. After a few months of serious chewing I had to buy another one, but well worth the money! Rocky loves it.

Great toy but if your dog is an aggressive chewer, please think twice.
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I received this on May 23rd and on June 8th, after playing with this thing every day, our recently acquired 36 lb dog finally ripped it open and got out all the plastic and the squeaky part. Lily Belle will miss you, chicken. Lily loooooved this toy! She'd toss it in the air, chew on it, pull it with her teeth etc. but as much as she loved it, we won't replace it. It's just not durable enough for her. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, you might want to try a different toy. I hate that this lasted just a smidge over two weeks because Lily seemed to truly enjoy this toy. RIP, squeaky chicken!

Amazing and cute
Size: Small, Color: Pink, Size: Small, Color: Pink
I have a puppy who absolutely adores her toys, especially now that she’s teething! I picked out some pink ones that are just right for her—she’s only 2 1/2 months old and weighs 2 lbs. The best part is the variety of toys she loves to play with.

Built to Chew, Designed to Last – A Teething Pup’s Best Friend!
Size: Small, Color: Pink
These puppy chew toys are adorable and well made! I picked the pink set for my girl, but they come in several color options to suit any pup’s personality. So far, she hasn’t destroyed a single one — which says a lot, because she’s definitely in her teething phase. That said, I do wish she’d chew on the toys more than she chews on me — ha! She seems to enjoy them most when I’m playing with her, so they’ve become a fun bonding tool. I also really appreciate that a couple of the toys can hold small treats. That keeps her entertained a bit longer and gives my hands a much-needed break. Overall, this is a great little starter kit for teething puppies. Durable, cute, and interactive — we’re both happy with it!

Bad Qualify - Toxic Plastic, Not Good or Safe
Size: Small, Color: Purple
These are toxic micro-plastic toys. They are especially bad for teething puppies sharp teeth. Within an hour of playing, pieces began to chip off and easily falling apart. If you don’t heed this warning to buy something else, at least monitor your dog when in use, never leave unattended and plan to throw them away when they start to break down. It’s a shame because the set is really cute and has ideal texture my dog loved with a nice variety of shapes. Not worth the risk though for a member of the family.
