A few notes from the Moore Guitars staff on this J-45 Standard in Rosewood Burst:
Normally if you were looking at a J45, you'd find mahogany, but in a small twist of fate here, Gibson has come out with an interesting "turn", and swapped out the mahogany for a premium Rosewood back and sides! If you go into your "Way-Back-Machine" to 1942 (yes you read that right - 82 years ago!), this model came out during a tough time in American history - and has been the inspiration for countless songs - inspiring songwriters and players all over the world. Where we can't offer this 82 year old masterpiece at it's original asking price of $45, we can off you the following - a drop dead gorgeous Rosewood back and sides beautifully grain matched with a Sitka Spruce top, hand-scalloped x-bracing, in a soft - round shouldered jumbo design gives the player a little more low end response, and the upper registers high end will glisten a little bit more giving the player/performer an almost three dimensional voice! Mahogany isn't totally missing on this model since the neck is pure mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard carved with a slim profile and 12" neck radius for an easy smooth comfortable playing experience.
This guitar also features a 24.75" scale length—shorter than the typical 25.5" scale found on most acoustics, and the same as a Gibson Les Paul. The result? A softer string tension at pitch that delivers a uniquely smooth, responsive playing feel—ideal for both fingerstyle and rhythm work.
If you're taking to the stage and need amplification, look no further than the L.R. Baggs VTC giving you easy control over your amplified tone - featuring separate volume and tone controls within easy reach of your strumming hand to give you precise control over your volume and tone. And last but certainly not least: true with most Gibson Guitars of this stature the Nitrocellulose lacquer finish will continue to age with grace like most all vintage Gibson models!

Some notes from Gibson: J-45 Standard Rosewood
The J-45™ is Gibson’s best-selling acoustic of all time. Nicknamed “The Workhorse” and first introduced in 1942, this iconic acoustic has become the cornerstone of our round-shoulder, dreadnought line. We are pleased to release a new version of the J-45 Standard with rosewood back and sides that delivers all of the playing and sonic characteristics you’d expect from the world-renowned J-45 but with slightly fuller bass response and overtone complexity due to the rosewood body. Also available as a left-handed model, these exceptional acoustic guitars come complete with an L.R. Baggs™ VTC under-saddle pickup and preamp system, making them stage and studio-ready from the moment you take them out of the included hardshell case.
