Gibson J-45 Standard Vintage Sunburst

The Workhorse in Vintage Sunburst: Eighty Years of the Quintessential Songwriter Guitar, Still Current

The Gibson J-45 Standard is the best-selling acoustic Gibson model of all time, and the Vintage Sunburst finish is the most classic appearance of this iconic slope-shoulder model. The Sitka Spruce top on solid mahogany back and sides delivers the characteristic J-45 sound: warm, full, and direct, with a dynamic range that convincingly renders everything from soft whispers to powerful strumming. The traditional hand-scalloped X-brace gives the top maximum freedom to resonate. The LR Baggs VTC pickup faithfully captures the acoustic voice of the J-45 for stage and studio, with volume and tone controls discreetly located in the soundhole.

The mahogany SlimTaper neck feels fast and comfortable in the hand. The rosewood fretboard features MOP Single Parallelogram inlays and 20 frets over a 24.75-inch scale length with a 12-inch radius. Grover Rotomatic tuners with Kidney Buttons, a Traditional Belly Up rosewood bridge, and TUSQ bridge pins complete an instrument that earns its reputation anew every day. Delivered with a Gibson hardshell case.
