Gibson’s Player Port stems from an original concept from the early 1960s that first appeared in blueprints for a model that never went into production called the Modern J-45.

The Generation Collection contains four models, all with walnut backs and sides and Sitka spruce tops. The G-00 and G-45 are completely acoustic while the G-200 EC and G-Writer EC come equipped with LR Baggs pickup systems, binding and fancier inlays.
To give you an idea of how these models sound, in this video, Guitar.com Chief Editor Chris Vinnicombe plays the same basic part on each guitar in turn.
