description Gibson J-45 Standard Overview

Known as 'The Workhorse,' the Gibson J-45 is perhaps the most recorded acoustic guitar in history. Its slope-shoulder dreadnought design produces a warm, woody, and punchy midrange that sits perfectly behind a vocal track. It is the quintessential singer-songwriter instrument, offering enough volume for solo performance while maintaining a refined character that doesn't clutter a mix. The current Standard model features LR Baggs VTC electronics, making it ready for the stage right out of the box.
