Gibson Limited Edition J-45 Standard - Honeyburst w/ Hard Case
GibsonThe Standard for Acoustic Guitars
A veritable icon of American craftsmanship, the Gibson Acoustic J-45 Standard’s storied legacy traces back to 1942 and its ensuing status as “the workhorse” of acoustic guitar designs. Originally named after its modest $45 price tag and “jumbo” body, the J-45 has inspired generations of guitarists and fueled the sounds of countless classic recordings — if you’re even tangentially familiar with the classic rock, pop, and country music of the 20th century, you’re already well-acquainted with the J-45’s inimitable drawl. This slope-shouldered dreadnought guitar’s Sitka spruce top, hand-scalloped X-bracing, and mahogany back and sides deliver a midrange-minded projection, deep bass, and crisp decay, supplying what many guitarists consider to be the defining sound of a steel-string acoustic guitar. On the opposite end, the J-45 Standard modernizes its historic formula with an easy-playing mahogany neck in Gibson’s SlimTaper profile, topped with a sleek 12-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard. What’s more, this J-45 is ready to take on any stage, anywhere, thanks to its onboard LR Baggs VTC electronics. Lastly, the Gibson J-45 Standard comes crowned with Grover Rotomatic tuning machines and draped in a nitrocellulose lacquer finish that will gracefully age the more you play. When you pick up a Gibson J-45 Standard, you’re not just playing any acoustic guitar; you’re playing a true piece of American musical history.
