An updated full-bodied walnut Workhorse with a gloss lacquer top that’s ready for the studio and stage

Now, Gibson is proud to introduce the updated J-45 Studio Walnut.

The J-45 Studio Walnut is handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, using all-solid tonewoods, including a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer-finished Sitka spruce top for wide dynamic range, playing responsiveness, and balanced tone. The satin nitrocellulose lacquer-finished walnut used for crafting the back and sides delivers a balanced tonal response that is warm and rich-sounding with a bit more bass and treble than the traditional mahogany-bodied J-45 models but not quite as much as the rosewood-bodied versions. The J-45 Studio Walnut’s full-depth, round shoulder body ensures rich, deep tone and outstanding volume and projection.

The Advanced Response neck profile sits in between some of the other Gibson neck profiles and is not too large or too thin but fits “just right” in the hand for many players. The walnut fretboard has 20 standard-sized frets and is adorned with the simple mother-of-pearl dot inlays, one of the visual hallmarks of the iconic J-45. The fretboard’s 16” radius makes playing fast note runs easy and efficient, contributing further to the model’s excellent playability. You’ll find yourself reaching for this guitar again and again since playing it is so much fun.

The headstock is equipped with smooth-turning Grover Rotomatic tuning machines and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut for rock-solid tuning stability so you can spend more time playing and less time tuning. The saddle and bridge pins installed on the belly-up bridge plate are also TUSQ. The J-45 Studio Walnut has an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze active under-saddle piezo pickup with a quick-to-access soundhole-mounted volume control for easy studio-quality plug-and-play anywhere.
