The World-Famous Workhorse
The J-45™ is the best-selling Gibson acoustic model of all time. Nicknamed “The Workhorse” and first introduced in 1942, this iconic acoustic has become the cornerstone of the Gibson 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. The Gibson J-45 Standard delivers a sound with incredible dynamic range, warm mids, and tight, punchy bass.
The Gibson J-45 Standard features a round-shoulder dreadnought body crafted using solid mahogany back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top. The top is multi-ply bound, while the back uses single-ply binding. The mahogany neck features a fast, comfortable SlimTaper™ profile and is secured to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint for superior tonal transfer and sustain. The neck is topped with a rosewood fretboard that is equipped with 20 standard frets and adorned with simple mother-of-pearl dot inlays. The headstock displays the Gibson logo inlaid in mother-of-pearl and is equipped with high-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuning machines, which, along with the TUSQ® nut, ensure smooth, reliable tuning with excellent stability.
The belly-up bridge is crafted from rosewood and equipped with a TUSQ saddle and bridge pins, while a teardrop tortoiseshell pickguard and a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish complete the classic aesthetic that has been a musical and cultural icon since its introduction.
The J-45 Standard is equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ VTC under-saddle pickup and preamp system with volume and tone controls mounted in the soundhole, where they are easily accessed by the player while remaining all but invisible to the audience. The inclusion of high-quality, natural-sounding electronics makes the J-45 Standard stage and studio-ready from the moment you take it out of the included hardshell case.
