Description

One of the most iconic Gibson acoustic models of all time, the J-45 produces an all round balanced projection and articulately warm tone thanks to its tonewoods. The Gibson Custom Shop J-45 Ebony acoustic guitar features a Mahogany back and sides, a Sitka Spruce top, and a Mahogany Slim Tapered neck. All the things that make this guitar great. But Gibson has gone the extra mile with the J-45 Custom by combining Les Paul inspired cosmetics and style. Starting with the nitrocellulose lacquer, split diamond inlays, ebony bound fretboard, and Grover tuners.

Key Features

  • Ebony Nitro Lacquer – Finished in a Les Paul Custom style, the J-45 boasts a natural, premium feel.
  • Slim Tapered Neck – Inspired again by a modern Les Paul Custom, the Slim Tapered neck feels comfortable and natural in your hand.
  • L. Baggs Session VT Pickup – The electro-acoustic feature allows you to elevate your sound through an amplifier or modeller to suit any versatile playing environment.

Mahogany and Spruce Construction

The classic Gibson construction has been favoured by musicians for years, the J-45 Custom Ebony give you that same beloved tone from a beautifully finished contemporary acoustic instrument straight from the Gibson Custom Shop.

Les Paul Inspired Custom

About the manufacturer

Gibson

Gibson has long stood as a symbol of American craftsmanship and musical heritage, shaping the sound of rock, blues, and jazz for over a century. Founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1902, Gibson became legendary with instruments like the Les Paul, SG, and ES series, each known for their rich sustain, premium tonewoods, and iconic designs. The brand’s pioneering use of humbucker pickups and carved maple tops created the warm, powerful sound that defines countless classic recordings. Played by greats such as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Angus Young, Gibson guitars continue to represent timeless quality, innovation, and a deep connection between player and instrument.
