To bring out the Brad Paisley signature "fiery twang" in you, Gibson has released the new Brad Paisley J-45 Signature Model guitar. The flat-top, custom-appointed acoustic pays tribute to Paisley -- country music chart topper, singer, songwriter, and guitarist known not only for his electric guitar riffs, but also his more mellow acoustic moments. The new guitar even sports a paisley design on the pickguard.

The custom-appointed guitar from the luthiers of Bozeman, Montana was constructed in the image of the J-45 “round-shouldered” dreadnought with Paisley’s own preferences in mind. It features a solid adirondack red spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and one-piece custom mahogany neck with “modified V” profile and a 24 and 3/4-inch scale rosewood fingerboard.

Accented with original 1942-spec scalloped red spruce and hide glue X-bracing, the Brad Paisley J-45 Signature also sports a Fishman Ellipse Aura pickup and preamp system, a bone nut and saddle, a multi-ply top binding, double-ring rosette, tortoise shell pickguard with paisley engraving, mother-of-pearl dot inlays with paisleys at the 12th fret, and a “Brad Paisley” signature engraved truss-rod cover.

According to Gibson, the guitar plays rich, resonant tones, either unplugged or fully amplified. While the guitar is a professional performance instrument in itself, it's also a collectible -- only 300 Brad Paisley J-45 Signature Model guitars will be produced by Gibson. That's probably why the guitar is priced at $5,158.

Each guitar has a bright Cherry Sunburst finish and comes with a form-fitting hardshell case with plush blue lining, an owner’s manual, Gibson’s Gold Warranty, a label personally signed by Brad Paisley, and a Certificate of Authenticity.
