Description
The legendary J-45 Workhorse returns to its 1930s origins with the J-45 Original, featuring exclusive pre-1942 appointments. This iconic round-shoulder dreadnought pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with genuine mahogany back and sides to produce the warm, woody tone that made it the best-selling, most-recorded Gibson acoustic ever.
Its mahogany neck utilizes a hot hide glue dovetail joint for superior resonance, offering a comfortable SlimTaper profile. The rosewood fretboard includes 20 frets with mother-of-pearl inlays, complemented by a script-logo headstock, nickel Grover tuners, and a bone nut. Vintage details like the closed-slot rosewood bridge and Firestripe pickguard enhance its aesthetic. The dual-sensor Baggs HiFi DNA system provides authentic, amplified sound with discreet soundhole controls.
Blending classic styling with modern playability and electronics, the J-45 Original arrives in a hardshell case, ready for your next musical chapter.
