Description
The Gibson J-45 Studio Rosewood in Rosewood Burst takes the timeless appeal of Gibson's most recorded acoustic and gives it a rich, updated twist with rosewood back and sides. It's a great fit for studio players, singer-songwriters, and working musicians who want classic tone with a bit more shimmer and low-end depth. That gloss nitro Sitka spruce top brings clarity and punch, while the satin-finished rosewood body warms everything up beautifully.
You're working with all solid tonewoods here, and the traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing helps this one breathe and respond with plenty of dynamic range. The L.R. Baggs Element Bronze pickup gives you natural-sounding tone straight into the board or amp, and the soundhole-mounted volume control keeps it all discreet and easy to access. The 16" radius rosewood fingerboard and Advanced Response neck carve make fast lines and extended sessions feel smooth and comfortable without fatigue.
It's got all the little details right too. Grover Rotomatic tuners, a TUSQ nut and saddle, and a belly-up rosewood bridge all help with tuning stability and resonance. For folks looking for a dependable workhorse that's versatile enough for the stage and refined enough for the studio, this J-45 hits the mark. We've really liked how these sit in a mix-clear without being too bright, warm but never muddy.
