help Gibson G-45 Studio FAQ
What woods are used in the Gibson G-45 Studio?
The G-45 Studio uses a solid Sitka spruce top with walnut back and sides, rather than the solid mahogany top sometimes attributed to it. It was built in Gibson's acoustic-guitar facility in Bozeman, Montana.
What body shape does the Gibson G-45 Studio have?
It uses Gibson's round-shoulder dreadnought body style, placing it in the same broad family as the J-45. Its construction and walnut body give it a distinct specification rather than making it simply a cheaper J-45.
Does the Gibson G-45 Studio have electronics for live performance?
The model was sold with an onboard Fishman pickup system for connection to an acoustic amplifier or PA. Players should inspect a used example because electronics can be removed, replaced, or damaged.
Why is the Gibson G-45 Studio often found only on the used market?
The G-45 Studio was part of Gibson's more affordable American-made acoustic range but is no longer a standard current model. Used listings may also call it the Generation Collection's predecessor, so specifications should be verified from the guitar's serial number and label.
