Description
The Gibson J-45 Standard Electro Acoustic in Heritage Cherry Sunburst brings together one of the most iconic acoustic designs of all time with cutting-edge Baggs HiFi DNA electronics. Warm, balanced and effortlessly musical, it is built to deliver that classic round-shoulder dreadnought sound on stage and in the studio, with a beautifully natural amplified voice that lets the true character of the guitar shine through. With its solid Sitka spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides and a comfortable SlimTaper mahogany neck, this J-45 offers the familiar blend of rich low end, smooth mids and clear, singing highs that has made it a studio staple for generations. The new Baggs HiFi DNA system captures that tone with impressive realism, so you can plug straight into a PA or interface and enjoy a full, dynamic sound without sacrificing the feel and response of a great acoustic. Classic J-45 Workhorse Tone Introduced in 1942 and affectionately known as The Workhorse, the J-45 has become Gibson’s most-recorded and best-selling acoustic model. This Standard version stays true to that legacy with a round-shoulder dreadnought body, solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides. The result is a voice with a warm, rounded low end, smooth, musical mids and a focused, punchy bass that responds beautifully whether you are strumming big open chords, flatpicking lines or playing more delicate fingerstyle parts. Comfortable SlimTaper Neck and Rosewood Fretboard The mahogany neck features Gibson’s SlimTaper profile, offering a fast, comfortable feel that suits both modern and traditional playing styles. A rosewood fretboard with 20 standard frets and mother-of-pearl dot inlays provides a familiar playing surface, while the compound dovetail neck joint and hot hide glue construction help maximise sustain and resonance. It is a neck that feels immediately inviting, encouraging longer playing sessions without fatigue. Baggs HiFi DNA Electronics The Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system takes the J-45 Standard’s stage-readiness to another level. Two lightweight sensors are mounted to the internal bridge plate, each with its own optimised preamp, to deliver a natural, full-bodied amplified tone that closely mirrors the guitar’s acoustic voice. The active design offers gain-before-feedback performance comparable to an under-saddle pickup, while discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls allow quick, intuitive adjustments without cluttering the guitar’s classic look. Timeless Heritage Cherry Sunburst Aesthetic Finished in a gloss nitrocellulose Heritage Cherry Sunburst, this J-45 Standard looks every bit as inspiring as it sounds. Multi-ply binding on the top and single-ply binding on the back frame the body, while the teardrop tortoiseshell pickguard and mother-of-pearl Gibson headstock logo complete the unmistakable J-45 silhouette. A rosewood belly-up bridge with TUSQ saddle and bridge pins, plus Grover Rotomatic tuners and a TUSQ nut, provide rock-solid tuning stability and reliable performance night after night.
