The iconic Gibson J45 was first produced during the fraught war years of 1942, but the “unassuming” little acoustic flourished, inspiring musicculture luminaries such as Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Donovan, Buddy Holly, Elizabeth Cotton, David Gilmour, Keb’ Mo’, Bruce Springsteen, Aimee Mann, Slash, James Taylor and two chaps named Elvis (Presley and Costello).

The new Gibson J45 Studio acousticelectric celebrates the model’s glorious legacy—and preserves its sweet midrange tones that caress and showcase vocals—but adds some savvy enhancements to improve playability and make live performances easy and fun. The onboard LR Baggs Element undersaddle pickup system is prized for its transparent reproduction of an acoustic’s organic sound—as well as the fact there’s no brittle piezotransducer “quackiness” to worry about. The J45 Studio also includes Gibson’s satinfinished Advanced Response utile (hardwood) neck, which guarantees a fast, comfy feel whether you’re fingerpicking, strumming or shredding up and down the fingerboard. Adorned with a Sitka spruce top and walnut back and sides, the Gibson J45 Studio delivers gorgeous, vintagestyled tone and projection, while a TUSQ nut and saddle ensures spoton intonation. The Gibson Studio Series also includes the SJ200 Studio, Hummingbird Studio and L00 Studio.

To detail the attributes of the Gibson J45 Studio is renowned indiefolk storyteller and singersongwriter Noah Gundersen, who prizes the guitar’s versatility for composing at home and taking on the road, as well as for producing a beautiful, balanced tone for both strumming and fingerpicking. “That flexibility is why I gravitated to the J45 in the first place,” says Gundersen. “It’s just a workhorse of an instrument.”
