Gibson J-45 Standard HiFi Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Vintage Sunburst

"The Workhorse" rides again with the Gibson J-45 Standard HiFi. The brand's most famous acoustic model, their round-shoulder dreadnought, the J-45 Standard gets treated to a number of upgrades both aesthetically and tangibly with striking tonewood and electronic design. As "The Workhorse" carries on, this Modern Collection entry is a masterfully made dreadnought embodying its classic style.

The J-45 Standard gets gussied up with high-quality tonewoods and all-new exclusive Baggs electronics. For fans of the eternally popular "Workhorse," this J-45 Standard is everything you could possibly need. Everything here begins with a J-45 round-shoulder dreadnought body brought together from spruce and mahogany. Solid Sitka spruce and mahogany serve as the base for this musical experience with a masterful mix of brightness and bass. Nitrocellulose lacquer wraps this body up for a striking gloss finish to match its warm Vintage Sunburst color. Within, traditional hand-scalloped X-Bracing bolsters sustain and projection for a fully 3D musical image.

Reaching out, this J-45 Standard brings on a mahogany neck in a SlimTaper profile. This smooth, sleek neck slips easily in the palm for seamless playability for blues licks, campfire chords, or anything in between. A rosewood fingerboard matches with this neck lined with twenty Standard frets and Mother of Pearl Dot inlays. Understated and effortlessly cool, these inlays follow in J-45 tradition to match a seamless feel on the fingers.

Backing up its musicality, the J-45 Standard HiFi features a number of solid hardware specifications. For one, a rosewood traditional belly up bridge lands with a TUSQ saddle for great transfer of motion string-to-body. For another, a TUSQ nut and Grover Rotomatic tuning machines ground strings stably for smooth stringing and solid intonation. Within, exclusive L.R. Baggs HiFi DNA electronics translate this guitar's tones to the stage seamlessly while an included hardshell case makes moves from stage to stage easy and secure.

So many years later and the "The Workhorse" rides on with the J-45 Standard!
