Gibson J45 Electro Acoustic Guitar Vintage Sunburst

The Gibson J-45 Standard Round Shoulder Electro Acoustic Guitar, Vintage Sunburst from Academy of Sound is nicknamed “The Workhorse” and first introduced in 1942. Gibson’s most popular acoustic is now the icon of its round-shoulder, dreadnought line.

The Gibson J45 Standard Round Shoulder is world renowned for its full, balanced expression, warm bass, and excellent projection. Gibson says subtle changes to the bracing of its predecessor—the J-35—made Gibson’s J-45 one of most technically advanced guitars of its time.

Grover’s original Rotomatic tuners are an engineering marvel, with abundant style and performance exactly suited for the J-45. The top of the J-45 is made from AA-grade Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from pattern grade Honduras mahogany.

The Gibson J45 comes equipped with the popular Element Active Acoustic Pickup System from L.R. Baggs, which features a low-profile undersaddle element—or transducer—that’s proven more stable and durable than many standard ribbon-type pickups.

Combined with an onboard preamp with an unobtrusive volume control mounted just inside the soundhole, the Element delivers performance not previously attainable from an undersaddle pickup. Its sleek and effective design removes unnecessary internal components to enhance the coupling between the pickup and the guitar, and improve the sensitivity of the transducer for a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and delicate high end.
