Description

 The J-45™ stands among the most iconic acoustic guitars ever made. First introduced in 1942, it became known as "The Workhorse." As Gibson's best-selling acoustic guitar of all time and the flagship of the round-shoulder dreadnought family, it has earned a lasting place in music history. The J-45 Standard 12-String builds on that celebrated foundation with a rich, shimmering voice and now features the Gibson-exclusive, custom-voiced Baggs HiFi DNA™ pickup system, delivering amplified acoustic tone that faithfully conveys the guitar's natural character.

Built with solid mahogany back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top, traditional scalloped X-bracing shapes its resonant voice. This tonewood recipe enhances the depth, sparkle, and natural chorus effect that define a great 12-string, while multi-ply top binding and single-ply back binding add classic visual appeal. A gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish completes its timeless look.

The mahogany neck features the SlimTaper™ profile and is joined to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint secured using hot hide glue. A wider 1.875-inch bone nut provides appropriate string spacing for the 12-string layout, while the Indian rosewood fretboard offers a 12-inch radius, 20 standard frets, and mother-of-pearl dot inlays. Nickel-plated Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners ensure smooth, accurate tuning adjustments across all 12 strings. The reverse-belly rosewood bridge is outfitted with a bone saddle and TUSQ® bridge pins, while a tortoiseshell teardrop pickguard reinforces the guitar's unmistakable J-45 styling.

The Baggs HiFi DNA pickup system employs two lightweight sensors mounted to the internal bridge plate, each paired with a carefully optimized preamp. It captures the instrument's unique voice without altering its unplugged tone and delivers gain-before-feedback performance comparable to that of an under-saddle pickup. Convenient soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls provide quick on-the-fly adjustments.

Equally at home onstage and in the studio, the J-45 Standard 12-String combines the unmistakable chime, depth, and spacious character of a 12-string with Gibson's legendary heritage. A hardshell case is included.
