Solid Sitka Spruce and Walnut for Warm, Resonant Tone
The combination of a solid Sitka spruce top and solid walnut back and sides gives this guitar a rich and distinctive tonal character. Sitka spruce is celebrated for its ability to project a wide dynamic range with exceptional clarity, making it ideal for expressive playing styles. Walnut adds warmth and depth, producing rich lows and articulate highs with a hint of natural compression. Together, these tonewoods offer a well-balanced sound with excellent projection and sustain, making the J-45 Studio Walnut an inspiring choice for both rhythm and lead playing.

The walnut fingerboard not only adds a striking visual contrast but also delivers a responsive feel under your fingers, ensuring precision during intricate runs or chord voicings. Paired with a 1.725" Tusq nut, this neck offers enhanced string spacing for effortless fretting, making it an excellent choice for players who value comfort and accuracy in their playing.
L.R. Baggs Element Bronze Pickup for Studio-Quality Sound
Equipped with the L.R. Baggs Element Bronze active under-saddle pickup, the J-45 Studio Walnut ensures your amplified tone retains the natural warmth and clarity of its acoustic voice. The soundhole-mounted preamp captures every nuance of your playing while minimizing feedback, making it ideal for both live performances and studio recording.

With its plug-and-play functionality, the J-45 Studio Walnut delivers professional-grade sound without the need for extensive setup or additional gear.

The solid walnut bridge ensures excellent tonal transfer, while the Tusq saddle enhances sustain and intonation accuracy. Grover Rotomatic tuners provide stable and precise tuning, even during extended play sessions.
