Gibson J-45 Standard: The World-Famous Workhorse
Historical Legacy
The J-45 is Gibson's best-selling acoustic of all time. Nicknamed "The Workhorse" and first introduced in 1942, this iconic acoustic has become the cornerstone of its round-shoulder, dreadnought line. World renowned for its full, balanced expression, warm bass and excellent projection, the J-45 has been refined to carry this legacy to new heights. This 2019 model delivers a sound with incredible dynamic range, warm mids, and a tight punchy bass.
Craftsmanship and Materials
The J-45 Standard features a Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides, creating a classic combination that delivers a rich and balanced tone. The traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing enhances the guitar's resonance and projection. The multi-ply top binding and single-ply back binding add a touch of elegance to the guitar's design, while the nitrocellulose finish ensures a beautiful, long-lasting shine.
Enhanced Playability and Electronics
The mahogany neck with a slim taper profile offers comfortable playability, making it easy to navigate the rosewood fingerboard. The Grover Rotomatics with kidney buttons provide precise tuning stability, while the LR Baggs VTC pickup system ensures that the guitar's natural tone is faithfully amplified. Whether you're performing on stage or recording in the studio, the J-45 Standard delivers exceptional sound quality.
