Description

The Gibson J-45 Standard 12-String Left-handed Electro Acoustic in Vintage Sunburst takes the legendary Workhorse formula and expands it into a lush, shimmering 12-string voice. With solid Sitka spruce and mahogany tonewoods, a comfortable round-shoulder dreadnought body and the custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system, it delivers rich, chiming acoustic tone that translates beautifully on stage and in the studio. Every detail is designed to make the 12-string experience inspiring rather than intimidating. The wider nut and SlimTaper neck profile keep complex chords and fingerstyle passages feeling natural under the left hand, while the shorter 24.75 inch scale adds a slinkier, more forgiving feel. Classic J-45 styling, from the Vintage Sunburst finish to the tortoiseshell teardrop pickguard, completes a guitar that looks as timeless as it sounds. Iconic J-45 Workhorse Heritage Introduced in 1942, the J-45 quickly earned its Workhorse nickname, and this 12-string left-handed model carries that legacy forward. The round-shoulder dreadnought body offers a familiar, balanced feel with a strong low end, clear mids and sweet highs that sit perfectly in a mix. If you want a 12-string that feels like a trusted, road-ready tool rather than a novelty, this is it. Rich, Shimmering 12-String Tone A solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides gives this J-45 a warm, articulate voice with plenty of natural chime. Traditional scalloped X-bracing lets the top move freely, enhancing projection and sustain while bringing out the natural chorus effect that defines a great 12-string. Chords bloom with depth and sparkle, and single-note lines gain extra dimension without losing clarity. Comfortable Left-handed Playability The mahogany neck features Gibson’s SlimTaper profile, offering a fast, modern feel that makes navigating all 12 strings far less demanding. A 1.875 inch bone nut provides the extra width needed for clean string separation, while the 12 inch rosewood fingerboard radius and 24.75 inch scale length strike a sweet spot between comfort and control. Whether you are strumming big open chords or picking intricate patterns, the neck feels immediately inviting for left-handed players. Baggs HiFi DNA Stage-ready Electronics The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system captures the guitar’s natural acoustic character with impressive accuracy. Two lightweight sensors on the internal bridge plate feed dedicated preamps, delivering a full, organic amplified tone with gain-before-feedback performance comparable to an under-saddle pickup. Discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls let you shape your sound on the fly without compromising the guitar’s classic appearance. Key Features Legendary J-45 Round-shoulder Dreadnought – The flagship Gibson round-shoulder body shape offers a powerful yet balanced acoustic voice, making this 12-string equally suited to solo performance, band work and recording. Solid Sitka Spruce and Mahogany Construction – A solid Sitka spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides delivers warmth, clarity and natural shimmer, enhancing the depth and sparkle that players expect from a premium 12-string. Left-handed SlimTaper Neck with Wider Nut – The mahogany SlimTaper neck and 1.875 inch bone nut provide comfortable string spacing and an easy-playing feel, helping left-handed players fret clean chords and articulate lines across all 12 strings. Baggs HiFi DNA Pickup with Discreet Controls – The custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA system offers a natural, dynamic amplified sound with excellent feedback resistance, while soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls keep adjustments quick and unobtrusive.

Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Electro-Acoustic Guitars

Electro-acoustic guitars combine the natural sound and feel of an acoustic guitar with built-in electronics for amplification. Fitted with pickups and preamp controls, they allow you to plug directly into an amp, PA system, or recording setup while retaining an acoustic character. They’re ideal for live performance, rehearsal, and home recording, offering volume control and tonal adjustment without relying solely on microphones. Electro-acoustic guitars suit players who want the warmth and responsiveness of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility to play amplified when needed.

Guitar

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use. Use the narrower guitar categories and feature tags to compare instruments with similar designs rather than relying on appearance alone.

12 String

12-string guitars use six pairs of strings, with each pair tuned either in unison or an octave apart, creating a fuller and more harmonically rich sound than a standard six-string. This paired-string design produces a natural chorusing effect, giving the instrument a wide, shimmering character.

They are commonly used for rhythm playing, strummed parts, and open chords, where their bright, layered sound adds depth and presence. 12-string guitars are popular in folk, rock, and acoustic music, and are especially valued for creating expansive textures rather than detailed lead playing.

Acoustic Guitar

Acoustic guitars produce their main sound through the vibrating strings and body. This tag includes steel-string, classical and electro-acoustic instruments across several body sizes. Construction, scale length, neck dimensions and an optional pickup system are useful points of comparison.

Left Handed

Left-handed guitars are built specifically for left-handed players, with the body shape, controls, and string orientation reversed to provide a natural and comfortable playing experience. Available across electric, acoustic, classical, and bass styles, they offer the same variety of tones, features, and build quality as right-handed models. Using a properly designed left-handed guitar helps with balance, technique, and confidence, allowing players to focus on developing their sound without having to adapt to an instrument that doesn’t suit the way they play.
