Gibson Custom Acoustics 2024.

Gibson has announced four new custom model editions of some of its most popular acoustic builds. The new versions of the J-45, Hummingbird, SJ-200, and the Songwriter EC Custom editions retain the key features that made them so well revered in the first place, but adorn them with new cosmetic appointments inspired by the Les Paul Custom.
