The Cherished Workhorse with the Unmistakable Energy of Red Spruce
One of the most beloved and played acoustic guitars in history, the J-45™ defines the legacy of Gibson acoustic guitars. Since its introduction in 1942, the J-45 has become the icon of Gibson’s round-shoulder dreadnought acoustic line. This incarnation of the J-45 features a stunning Adirondack red spruce top that delivers energetic presence and projection that only gets better with time, and a mahogany back and sides for a well-rounded dynamic range and tonal response with tight, punchy low end; warm mids; and shimmering highs.
The J-45 Standard Red Spruce is finished with a glorious Honey Burst gloss finish to give it a look as sweet as its sound, and comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ Element VTC under-saddle pickup system for seamless amplification of its natural sound in any setting. Includes hardshell case. Each guitar includes a black hardshell case with a plush-lined interior, an owner's manual, Gibson's Gold Warranty, and Gibson's 24/7/365 Customer Service.
