Known as "The Workhorse," the Gibson J-45 body style is among Gibson's most beloved instruments and a favorite among Sweetwater guitar players. This particular workhorse features a superb blend of tonewoods, giving you rich, strong sound - day-in, day-out. The J-45 Mahogany Top features a solid mahogany top for a warm presence, while solid mahogany adorns its back and sides. Other touches include hand-scalloped, radiused top bracing, a tapered dovetail neck joint, and a single-ring rosette with three-ply binding.
Rosewood Fingerboard with Rolled Edges and Dot InlaysThe Gibson J-45 Mahogany Top's fingerboard comprises high-grade rosewood, which is personally inspected and qualified by Gibson experts before it enters the Gibson factories. It's a resilient and durable wood, making way for a balanced and stable fingerboard, and giving each chord and note enhanced clarity and bite. The dot inlays on the J-45 are made of genuine mother-of-pearl-of-pearl, and are added to the fingerboard using a special Gibson process that eliminates gaps and doesn't require fillers. What's more, the J-45 Mahogany Top's fingerboard boasts a rolled edge that's lightly beveled, which enhances the instrument's smooth playability.
LR Baggs Element Active Acoustic Pickup SystemThe J-45 Mahogany Top comes with LR Baggs's popular Element VTC Acoustic Pickup System, which features a low-profile undersaddle transducer that's proven more stable and durable than many standard ribbon-type pickups. Combined with an onboard preamplifier with an unobtrusive and removable volume control, mounted just inside the soundhole, the Element is a tremendous performer. Its sleek and effective design removes unnecessary internal components to enhance the coupling between the pickup and the guitar and improve the sensitivity of the transducer for a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and delicate high end. The Element works with a standard 9V battery, which is housed inside the guitar in LR Bagg's new "Battery Bagg."
