Full Description
View Full DescriptionIconic design, reimagined
The Gibson J-45 Standard 12 String blends timeless style with a lush, expanded voice. Built with the classic round-shoulder dreadnought shape, it retains the charm and character of the iconic Workhorse while delivering rich, shimmering 12-string tones. Finished in vintage sunburst with detailed multi-ply binding, it looks every bit as bold as it sounds.
Premium tonewoods and build
A solid Sitka spruce top pairs with a mahogany back and sides to give this 12-string a warm, balanced tone with outstanding projection and clarity. Traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing brings the top to life, adding resonance and depth across all registers. This classic wood combination ensures every chord projects with nuance and power.
Comfortable 12-string playability
The SlimTaper neck profile offers a familiar feel while the wider nut width provides extra space for clean fingering across all twelve strings. An Indian rosewood fingerboard and shorter 24.75” scale length keep everything smooth and manageable, so you can enjoy a full 12-string sound in total comfort.
Stage-ready electronics
Equipped with LR Baggs VTC electronics, the J-45 Standard 12 String is built for life on stage and in the studio. The under-saddle pickup captures the guitar’s natural tone with stunning accuracy, while discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls let you shape your sound without disrupting the vintage aesthetic. However you perform, it delivers beautifully amplified tone.
