Key Features
Fall back in love with acoustic guitar. From headstock to strap nut, the Gibson G-45 Standard is a masterclass in modern luthiery. Born from Gibson's timeless J-45 design, the G-45 Standard features the same iconic body shape, with a reduced depth for maximum projection and comfort. Add to this a new Advanced-Response neck profile and you've got a Gibson great that's all a modern player needs and more.
The solid sitka spruce and walnut construction is matched with a beautiful rosewood fretboard to produce a tone that's wonderfully warm, yet present. Take that tone to the stage and plug into the Fishman Sonitone pickup for an authentic, natural performance. With a gloss-finished top, upmarket soft diamond inlays, and a Gibson hard shell case included, the G-45 Standard is a USA hand-built, top spec guitar with a surprisingly modest price point.

When it comes to playability, Gibson know their stuff. Despite its classic J-45 looks, the G-45 Standard features a radical Advanced Response neck and fretboard configuration, designed with the modern guitarist in mind.
Smoothly sweep up the satin-finished utile neck, and you'll notice a subtle tapering effect, allowing easier, sturdier access to those higher frets. And the 16-inch radius of the rosewood fretboard gives it a flatter profile, making complex chords and fingerpicked flourishes a breeze.
Inventive, intelligent wood selection can make or break a guitar's tone. The G-45's walnut body and sides, and sitka spruce top are solid pieces, giving a robust, forward-facing sound that bathes your playing in rich harmonics. But it gets better - as you play in your G-45, the walnut's tone deepens with time for a thick, resonant low end that grows with you.
Focussed fingerpicks. As well as being comfortable to play, the thinner body profile of the G-45 naturally projects the mid-high frequencies more easily from the sound hole. This perfectly accentuates every flick and flourish of your picking hand for rhythms that really resonate.
