A legendary dreadnought, reimagined for the modern player.
The Gibson J-45 Studio rosewood acoustic-electric guitar brings a contemporary perspective to the iconic J-45, a cornerstone of Gibson's acoustic legacy. This updated model blends the classic J-45 design with modern playability and electronics, creating a versatile instrument that excels in any musical setting. Hand-built with a solid Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides, the J-45 Studio rosewood boasts a traditional body depth for a warm, rich tone. The inclusion of an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze soundhole-mounted preamp makes it seamlessly transition from the studio to the stage, and a hardshell case is included for protection.
Solid Sitka Spruce Top for Exceptional Sonic Clarity
The solid Sitka spruce top is essential to the J-45 Studio rosewood's clear and articulate sound. Sitka spruce is prized for its stiffness and light weight, resulting in a soundboard that vibrates freely and responds dynamically to the player's touch. This allows for a wide range of expression, from delicate fingerpicking to powerful strumming. The solid top ensures that the guitar's tone will continue to mature and improve over time, becoming richer and more complex as the wood ages and resonates more freely. This premium tonewood choice makes this J-45 a serious instrument.
Rosewood Back and Sides for Warm, Balanced Resonance
The rosewood back and sides complement the Sitka spruce top, contributing to the J-45 Studio rosewood's warm and balanced tonal character. Rosewood is known for its rich, complex sound with a strong low-end presence and clear, articulate highs. This tonewood pairing creates a versatile instrument that excels in a variety of musical settings, from folk and country to blues and rock. The rosewood also adds a touch of natural beauty to the guitar's overall aesthetic.
Advanced Response Neck Profile for Enhanced Playability
The J-45 Studio rosewood features an Advanced Response neck profile, designed for enhanced playing comfort and speed. This profile offers a comfortable feel in the hand, making it easy to navigate the fingerboard and play for extended periods without fatigue. Whether you're playing chords, fingerpicking, or soloing, the Advanced Response neck facilitates smooth and effortless playing, allowing you to focus on your music rather than your hand position. This modern neck design makes the classic J-45 more accessible to contemporary players.
L.R. Baggs Element Bronze Preamp for Seamless Amplification
Equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze soundhole-mounted preamp, the J-45 Studio Rosewood is ready for any performance or recording situation. The Element Bronze pickup accurately captures the guitar's acoustic tone and delivers it to an amplifier or PA system with minimal coloration. This allows the natural sound of the guitar to shine through, ensuring a faithful reproduction of its acoustic character when amplified. The convenient soundhole-mounted controls allow for easy adjustments to the volume, making it simple to dial in the perfect sound for any setting.
Classic J-45 Design with Modern Refinements
The Gibson J-45 Studio acoustic-electric guitar retains the iconic slope-shouldered dreadnought body shape and aesthetic of the classic J-45, while incorporating modern refinements for enhanced performance and playability. The gloss finish adds a touch of elegance and protection to the instrument, showcasing the natural beauty of the rosewood back and sides. The combination of traditional design elements and contemporary features makes this guitar a perfect blend of vintage vibe and modern functionality. It's an instrument that will inspire musicians for years to come.
A Versatile Acoustic-Electric for the Modern Musician
The Gibson J-45 Studio rosewood is a versatile acoustic-electric guitar that's ideal for a wide range of musical styles and playing situations. From strumming around the campfire to performing on stage or recording in the studio, this instrument delivers exceptional tone and playability.
