Produced from 1998 to 2008, the Gibson WM-45 'Working Man 45' is exactly what it sounds like - a no frills twist on the classic J-45, with the classic slope shoulder tone and feel with a stripped back aesthetic. Gibson had to make it different from their J-45, so gave this version black binding instead of white, and a black pickguard instead of faux tortoiseshell. Thankfully they left all the important stuff unchanged, like the scalloped top bracing, D-shape neck profile, and short scale length. The result is that classic Gibson mahogany slope-shoulder tone and playability that has made the J-45 a favorite acoustic rhythm guitar since the early 1950s. 

This 2001-built guitar is in great condition for it's age, with light playwear and scratches throughout, but no major dings or structural issues. The tuners have developed some great patina, and the originally satin neck has shined up nicely. The playability is great, with a slick action and slim D-profile neck. It sounds just as it should - a wonderfully open, classic slope shoulder sound that is just as good as any standard J-45! Includes hardshell case.
