Full Description
View Full DescriptionSignature round-shoulder sound
The Gibson J-45 Standard in Translucent Teal brings that classic round-shoulder dreadnought voice that players lean on day in, day out. A solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides delivers a full, balanced tone with tight, punchy bass, warm mids, and sweet, singing trebles. It projects confidently, records cleanly, and slips into a mix without fuss, making it a solid choice for writing sessions, rehearsals, and live sets alike.
Smooth, fast playability
A SlimTaper mahogany neck keeps things quick and comfy across long gigs, with the 24.75" scale easing string tension so bends and vibrato feel natural. The rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets plays fast and familiar, while simple mother of pearl dot inlays keep the look clean and classic. A compound dovetail neck joint helps notes bloom, adding sustain and resonance you can feel under the fingers.
Plug-in ready tone
LR Baggs VTC electronics give you an easy, natural amplified sound that sits right where you want it on stage or in the studio. The undersaddle pickup captures the guitar’s woody character, and the discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls let you tweak on the fly without spoiling the vintage vibe. It’s a reliable, low-maintenance setup that keeps the focus on the song, not the signal chain.
Road-ready style and build
The translucent teal finish turns heads under stage lights, set off by the traditional teardrop pickguard and nickel hardware. A belly-up rosewood bridge teams with a TUSQ nut and saddle for stable intonation and consistent response, while Grover Rotomatic tuners keep tuning rock solid. Supplied in a fitted hardshell case, it’s ready to travel and tough enough to be your go-to acoustic for years to come.
