Nicknamed “The Workhorse” and first introduced in 1942, this iconic acoustic has become the cornerstone of the round-shoulder dreadnought line. Gibson's pleased to release this new version of the J-45 Standard with rosewood back and sides that delivers all of the playing and sonic characteristics you’d expect from the world-renowned J-45 but with slightly fuller bass response and overtone complexity due to the rosewood body. Gibson's Modern Collection Standards gives the player a new tonal dynamic, with the rounder low-mids and warmth prevalent to this tonewood. This J-45 will give any player a chance to pick their favorite - between a traditional mahogany version, or the rosewood model. Go with the 'wood! • MFSKU MCRS45RWRB • UPC 711106120232
