Introduced in 1942 and affectionately known as “The Workhorse,” this legendary instrument stands at the heart of Gibson’s round-shoulder dreadnought family. Celebrated worldwide for its rich balance, warm low end, and strong projection, the J-45 continues to evolve while staying true to its legacy. The Gibson J-45 Standard offers a voice defined by impressive dynamic response, smooth mids, and a focused, punchy bass. It now features new Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA electronics for exceptional plugged-in sound. Crafted with a round-shoulder dreadnought body, the J-45 Standard pairs solid mahogany back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top for the unmistakable tone heard across decades of recordings. Multi-ply binding accents the top, while the back is finished with single-ply binding. The mahogany neck features a fast, comfortable SlimTaper profile and is joined to the body with a compound dovetail joint and hot hide glue, enhancing sustain and resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rosewood fretboard carries 20 standard frets and is inlaid with classic mother-of-pearl dots. At the headstock, a mother-of-pearl Gibson logo is joined by premium Grover Rotomatic tuners and a TUSQ nut, delivering smooth performance and dependable tuning stability. A rosewood belly-up bridge fitted with a TUSQ saddle and bridge pins anchors the strings, while a teardrop tortoiseshell pickguard and gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish complete the timeless look that has defined the model since its debut. The J-45 Standard is now fitted with the all-new Gibson-exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system. This active design utilizes two lightweight sensors mounted to the internal bridge plate, each paired with its own optimized preamp. The result is a natural, full-bodied amplified tone that faithfully represents the guitar’s inherent character, without altering its unplugged voice. The Baggs HiFi DNA system offers comparable gain-before-feedback to an under-saddle pickup. Discreet soundhole-mounted controls for volume and tone allow quick, intuitive adjustments on the fly, remaining virtually unseen by the audience. With its refined electronics and included hardshell case, the J-45 Standard is ready for both stage and studio use the moment it’s picked up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Multi-ply top, single-ply back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Material: Sitka spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSides Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: J-45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: SlimTaper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoint: Dovetail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Material: Mother of pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12 in. | 304.8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24.75 in. | 628.7 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Belly Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Material: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Teardrop, tortoiseshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Grover Rotomatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle Material: TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup System: Baggs HiFi DNA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: 1 volume, 1 tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Hardshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Gibson\u003cbr\u003eModel: MCRS45HFVS\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I933219-N-1-WHXD\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 711106246482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
