From Gibson:
"The J-45™ is the best-selling Gibson acoustic model of all time. Nicknamed “The Workhorse” and introduced in 1942, this iconic acoustic has become the cornerstone of the Gibson round-shoulder dreadnought line. World-renowned for its full, balanced expression, warm bass, and excellent projection, the J-45 has been refined to carry this legacy to new heights. The Gibson J-45 Standard delivers incredible dynamic range, warm mids, and tight, punchy bass. It now comes equipped with the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs™ HiFi DNA™ pickup system, delivering the guitar’s unique voice and every nuance of your playing with exceptional realism when amplified.
The Gibson J-45 Standard features a round-shoulder dreadnought body crafted with solid mahogany back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top. Scalloped X-bracing supports the top, which is framed with multi-ply binding, while the back features single-ply binding. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish completes the classic appearance that has made the J-45 a musical and cultural icon since its introduction.
The mahogany neck features a fast, comfortable SlimTaper™ profile and is secured to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint for superior tonal transfer and sustain. The neck is topped with a rosewood fretboard equipped with 20 standard frets and simple mother-of-pearl dot inlays. The headstock displays the Gibson logo inlaid in mother of pearl and is equipped with high-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuning machines, which work with the TUSQ® nut to ensure smooth, reliable tuning with excellent stability.
The traditional belly-up bridge is crafted from rosewood and equipped with a TUSQ saddle and bridge pins, while a teardrop tortoiseshell pickguard reinforces the familiar J-45 aesthetic.
Inside, the J-45 Standard is now equipped with the all-new Gibson-exclusive Baggs™ HiFi DNA™ pickup system. This active system uses two lightweight sensors mounted on the internal bridge plate. The sensors are matched with optimized individual preamps to deliver full-bodied, amplified acoustic tone that lets the guitar’s character and personality come through when amplified, with no impact on the unamplified tone. The Baggs™ HiFi DNA™ system offers comparable gain-before-feedback to an under-saddle pickup. The system also includes soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls that are quick and easy to access while playing, and all but invisible to your audience.
The inclusion of high-quality, natural-sounding electronics makes the J-45 Standard ready for the stage, studio, rehearsal room, and wherever the road leads next, from the moment you take it out of the included hardshell case."
