Gibson J-45 Standard - Heritage Cherry Sunburst

Gibson J-45 Standard - Heritage Cherry Sunburst

The Gibson J-45, affectionately known as "The Workhorse," is Gibson's top-selling acoustic guitar of all time. First introduced in 1942, this round-shoulder dreadnought has become a true icon. Available at Palen Music Center, the J-45 Standard in Heritage Cherry Sunburst continues this legacy, offering a full, balanced sound with warm bass and excellent projection. Its construction features a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, a classic tonewood combination that provides incredible dynamic range and a tight, punchy bass. The comfortable SlimTaper mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl dot inlays make for a superb playing experience. Equipped with an LR Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup and active preamp, this J-45 is stage and studio ready right out of the included hardshell case.
