Bring the workhorse sound of Gibson's legendary dreadnought to your performances.
The Gibson J-45 Standard Rosewood acoustic-electric guitar provides you with a flawless blend of vintage appeal and modern playability. Since 1942, Gibson's J-45 has been their best-selling acoustic thanks to its bold, balanced tone and comfortable round-shoulder dreadnought body. The J-45 Standard Rosewood model gives you all the sonic qualities of the iconic J-45 but with enhanced bass response and harmonic complexity from its rosewood back and sides. As a serious guitarist, you'll appreciate its solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard that make it a dream to play. Plug it in using the L.R. Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup and preamp for stage and studio use right out of its hardshell case.
Timeless Tonewoods Produce a Bold, Nuanced Sound
The J-45 Standard Rosewood's all-solid wood construction with a Sitka spruce top, and rosewood back and sides, gives you a robust, well-balanced tone with shimmering highs, a scooped midrange and tight low end. The spruce top provides warmth and articulation, while the rosewood body enhances depth, richness and resonance for a more complex sound than the traditional mahogany J-45. Strum it hard for a punchy response or fingerpick for ringing, open chords. The tone only improves with age and playing time.
A Neck and Fingerboard Built for Comfort
The J-45 Standard Rosewood's mahogany neck has a rounded profile that feels like an old friend in your hands. Its rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and acoustic resonance while providing a smooth playing surface. The neck's 24.75" scale length and 1.725" nut width give you comfortable fretting space for complex chords and single-note runs. Dot inlays help guide you to each note with vintage style.
Stage-Ready Electronics and Appointments
Though primarily an acoustic guitar, the J-45 Standard Rosewood comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup and preamp system for plugging in. Shape your amplified tone with bass, mid and treble controls, adjust volume with the guitar's knob and toggle between pickup and natural acoustic sounds. Other premium details include open-gear Grover tuners, tortoiseshell pickguard and a vintage sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer finish in hand-rubbed satin.
Experience the guitar that defined the Gibson acoustic sound. The J-45 Standard Rosewood delivers the famed tone and playability of a J-45 with the added sonic complexity of an all-rosewood body. Serious players will appreciate its premium components, comfortable feel and ability to shine on stage or in the studio.
