A modernized take on a Gibson classic with L.R. Baggs electronics and cool Vintage Sunburst finish.
Gibson is well-known for a decorated past full of creativity, innovation and trendsetting body designs, like the J-45 Standard, aka "The Workhorse," which has graced stages and studios since 1942, and is one of the most iconic round-shoulder dreadnoughts on the market. The Standard Series offers Gibson's most celebrated historical and newer models built in the modern era. From small-body to Super Jumbo body shapes, these time-honored guitars are full of expression, character and exquisite beauty.
This J-45 Standard pairs a AAA solid Sitka spruce top and all-mahogany body with traditional hand-scalloped X bracing for a warm timbre with extra low end and exceptional volume. The SlimTaper mahogany neck makes for a familiar feel, especially for electric players making a transition, and it's topped with rosewood. As another way of appealing to the modern player, the J-45 Standard acoustic-electric has been equipped with L.R. Baggs VTC electronics, giving you simple, accurate plugged-in play.
The J-45 Standard comes with a hardshell case.
