The J-45 Standard is often called “The Workhorse” for good reason — it has been Gibson’s most popular acoustic model since its debut in 1942. Known for its powerful projection, warm midrange, and perfectly balanced tone, the J-45 has found its way into the hands of countless artists across genres and decades. This latest version continues that tradition while offering modern reliability for today’s players.

Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the J-45 Standard delivers a voice that is rich, punchy, and versatile enough for both delicate fingerpicking and hard-driving strumming. The SlimTaper mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard feels smooth and fast in the hands, while mother of pearl dot inlays and multi-ply binding add a touch of understated elegance.

Equipped with the L.R. Baggs VTC pickup and preamp system, this J-45 is ready to shine in both studio and stage environments, offering natural amplified tone with intuitive soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls. Finished in an eye-catching Purple Burst and shipped with a hardshell case, this guitar combines timeless craftsmanship with unique visual flair. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
