Rosewood-Rich J-45 Tone That Is Ready For The Studio
If you love the classic J-45 vibe but want a little more low end depth and shimmer on top, this J-45 Studio Rosewood hits that sweet spot. It keeps the round shoulder warmth and feel, then adds rosewood richness, a slimmer body, and an active pickup that is ready for any stage or session.
Sitka Spruce Top With Rosewood Back And Sides
The classic Sitka spruce top gives you that familiar Gibson punch and clarity, with chords that bloom and single notes that pop. Pair that with rosewood back and sides and you get more piano-like low end, extra harmonic complexity, and a smooth top end that stays glassy instead of harsh.
Traditional hand scalloped X-bracing lets the top move freely, so the guitar feels alive under your right hand. Strum it and you feel the whole body light up, not just hear it. It is the kind of responsiveness that makes you want to play longer.
Slim Body Depth For Real-World Comfort
The J-45 Studio Rosewood keeps the iconic round shoulder shape but with a slimmer body depth. That means it tucks in closer to you, sits comfortably under your arm, and does not fight you during long sets or writing sessions on the couch. At around 4.9 pounds, it is light enough that you stop thinking about the guitar and just play.
Whether you are perched on a stool at a songwriter round or standing on stage with a strap, the balance feels dialed in. No neck dive, no fatigue, just a comfortable workhorse that is ready to go all night.
Advanced Response Neck And Flatter 16 Inch Fingerboard
The mahogany neck with the Advanced Response profile is one of Gibson’s best modern shapes. It fills your hand just enough to feel solid and supportive, yet stays fast and forgiving up the neck. No baseball bat, no toothpick, just a very playable middle ground.
The rosewood fingerboard with a 16 inch radius gives you a flatter surface for clean barre chords, controlled bends, and precise fingerstyle. Combined with 20 standard frets and a properly cut Tusq nut, you get smooth playability in every position without buzzing or choking out.
Stage And Studio Ready With Active Under Saddle Pickup
Plug in and you are instantly in the zone. The active under saddle piezo pickup gives you a clear, natural acoustic tone that sits right in a mix without getting quacky or thin. Soundhole mounted controls keep the top clean and resonance-friendly while still letting you tweak on the fly.
The 1/4 inch endpin jack keeps things tidy for live use and studio tracking. Run it straight into a PA, acoustic amp, or interface and you have a dependable, feedback resistant sound that engineers and sound techs actually like working with.
Hand-Built Gibson Craft With Moore Guitars TLC
This J-45 Studio Rosewood is hand-built with a gloss nitrocellulose finish, multi ply top binding, single ply back binding, and quality hardware like Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney buttons. The traditional belly up bridge with Tusq saddle and pins keeps intonation solid and helps every note ring true.
