2021 Gibson J-45 Studio Gloss Walnut – Excellent Condition w/ OHSC
Offered here is a 2021 Gibson J-45 Studio Gloss Walnut in excellent condition, showing only light use with minor scratches and careful ownership. This is a fantastic modern take on the iconic “Workhorse,” featuring all-solid walnut back and sides for a unique, balanced tonal character.
Currently strung with new D’Addario EJ16 light strings, the guitar plays comfortably with action measuring approximately between 2.3-2.5—versatile enough for a wide range of styles. I'd recommend a professional setup to your exact preference. The saddle has lots of room to lower the action.
The instrument has been properly humidified and case-kept, with the wood remaining healthy and stable.
Condition
Excellent overall condition
Light surface wear from normal handling (minor scratches)
No cracks, dings, or structural issues
Fully functional and ready to play
The guitar has been properly humidified and stored in its case, keeping the wood healthy and stable.
Playability
Currently strung with new D’Addario EJ16 light strings, the guitar plays comfortably with action measuring approximately 2.5 mm at the 12th fret (low E).
There is ample saddle height remaining, leaving room for further adjustment. A professional setup can easily dial it in to your exact preference.
Tone & Build
Handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana, this J-45 Studio features premium all-solid tonewoods:
Sitka spruce gloss top – wide dynamic range and strong responsiveness
Walnut back & sides – warm, focused tone with clear bass and articulate highs
Round-shoulder body – excellent projection and balance
A versatile guitar equally suited for stage, studio, or home use.
Neck & Feel
Comfortable Advanced Response neck profile
Smooth satin-finished utile neck
Walnut fingerboard (16” radius) with mother-of-pearl dot inlays
1.725” nut width, 24.75” scale length
Easy to play and comfortable for extended sessions.
Hardware & Electronics
Grover Rotomatic tuners
Graph Tech TUSQ nut, saddle, and bridge pins
L.R. Baggs Element Bronze pickup system
Under-saddle pickup
Soundhole-mounted volume control
Plug-and-play ready for live performance or recording.
