Handcrafted in the USA, the J-45 Standard features a slope-shoulder dreadnought body made of premium red spruce and mahogany, producing a warm and balanced sound with articulate highs and midrange. The short-scale mahogany neck has a comfortable rounded C-shape and rosewood fingerboard, giving you a smooth playing experience. The L.R. Baggs Element electronics system lets you amplify your acoustic tone with natural sound. Whether recording in the studio or performing on stage, the J-45 Standard Red Spruce provides exceptional playability and classic Gibson sound.

Premium Tonewoods for Resonant Sound

The J-45 Standard's red spruce top and mahogany back and sides create a resonant acoustic voice. Red spruce is lightweight yet strong, vibrating freely to generate articulate highs and midrange. Mahogany provides a balanced warmth and responsive low end. Together, these premium tonewoods produce the warm and balanced sound the J-45 Standard is known for. The dovetail neck joint, hide glue construction and hand-scalloped bracing further enhance resonance and projection.

Comfortable Rounded Neck Profile

The mahogany neck has a rounded C-shaped profile that feels instantly familiar in your hands. Its short 24.75" scale length increases comfort for complex chords and intricate fingerpicking. The rosewood fingerboard has 20 medium-jumbo frets, providing a smooth playing surface. Dot inlays help guide you to each note. The hand-rubbed finish gives the neck a worn-in feel so you can focus on your performance instead of the instrument.

Plug in and Play with L.R. Baggs Element Electronics

The L.R. Baggs Element active pickup system lets you amplify your J-45 Standard's acoustic voice with studio-quality sound. It features an undersaddle piezo pickup and flexible preamp with volume control. Simply plug into your favorite acoustic amp or PA and adjust the volume to suit the venue. The Element system conveys the natural tone of your guitar's red spruce and mahogany construction with exceptional clarity and dynamics.

Timeless Visual Style
