Timeless round-shoulder dreadnought tone

The Gibson J-45 Standard is one of the most iconic acoustic guitars ever made, earning its reputation as the “Workhorse” for its rich, balanced tone and unmatched versatility. Its round-shoulder dreadnought body delivers a warm, full-bodied sound with plenty of projection, making it ideal for both fingerpicking and strumming. The combination of a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides ensures a dynamic response, offering clarity and depth in every note. Play it in an intimate setting or on stage, and the J-45 Standard delivers the legendary Gibson acoustic sound that has been heard on countless recordings.

Premium tonewoods for a classic sound

Built with a solid Sitka spruce top, the J-45 Standard produces a crisp, articulate sound with excellent dynamic range. This top wood is prized for its ability to enhance resonance and sustain, ensuring that each note rings out with clarity. The mahogany back and sides add warmth and depth, balancing the brightness of the spruce top with a rich, woody character. This tonewood combination has been a favourite among musicians for decades, offering a well-rounded sound that excels in a wide range of playing styles. Play soft fingerstyle passages or bold, percussive strumming, and this guitar responds beautifully to your touch.

Effortless playability with a slim taper neck

Designed for comfort and smooth playability, the J-45 Standard features Gibson’s Slim Taper neck profile, which allows for effortless chord transitions and fluid lead playing. Crafted from mahogany, the neck offers stability and a comfortable grip, making it easy to play for extended sessions. The rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface, while its 12-inch radius enhances control and precision. With 20 frets and a 24.75-inch scale length, this guitar delivers a balanced feel that caters to both traditional and modern playing styles. If you're searching for a comfortable instrument with an unmatched sound, the J-45 Standard has you covered.

This under-saddle pickup captures the guitar’s natural resonance, preserving its warm, organic tone when plugged in.
