The Gibson J-45™ has earned its legendary status as the best-selling acoustic guitar in Gibson’s storied history, affectionately nicknamed "The Workhorse" for its reliability, versatility, and timeless appeal. Since its introduction in 1942, this round-shoulder dreadnought has been the gold standard for acoustic guitars, celebrated for its rich tone, exceptional projection, and balanced sound that blends seamlessly across genres. Now available at Haggerty's Music, the Gibson J-45 Standard continues its legacy with a stunning Antique Natural finish and captivating cherry-finished back and sides, giving it a look as dynamic as its sound.

Built for players who demand both tradition and innovation, the J-45 Standard features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides, producing a tonal palette that’s warm, resonant, and expressive. Its warm mids, tight, punchy bass, and clear highs create an unparalleled dynamic range, making it equally at home strumming full-bodied chords or fingerpicking intricate melodies. The cherry finish on the back and sides not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also speaks to its masterful craftsmanship.

Perfect for live performances and studio sessions alike, the J-45 is equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ VTC under-saddle pickup and preamp system, ensuring pristine amplification of its natural acoustic voice. Whether you're playing unplugged or plugged in, this guitar delivers a sound that’s as iconic as its design.

The slim taper neck and classic round-shoulder body offer unmatched comfort and playability, while the premium hardshell case ensures it’s protected and ready to travel wherever your music takes you.
