An Acoustic Built with the Environment in Mind Using responsibly harvested walnut we built a guitar with the environment in mind. The J-45 Sustainable is fitted with a walnut fingerboard and bridge, with no inlay to display natural beauty of walnut. We hand rub the wax finish on these beautiful instruments, allowing the guitar to fully resonate. Finished with an LR Baggs VTC pickup.
