“A package that’s simply perfect for songwriting and rehearsing”: Gibson gives three of its most-iconic acoustic guitars a Special makeover

Gibson Special Acoustics [l-r]: the J-45, L-00 and Hummingbird get the Special treatment, with satin finishes and a stripped-down but pro-quality instrument that's ready for the stage.

Gibson has given three of its most-famous acoustic guitars the Special treatment, presenting the compact L-00, the workhorse J-45 and the iconic Hummingbird at a more accessible price point.

The Gibson Special acoustics all made in the USA at the company’s Bozeman, Montana facility. The designs are a little more pared back; here we have satin nitrocellulose lacquer, not gloss, and some of the aesthetics have been dialled back.
