Definitive acoustic guitar experiences in expanded finishes
Both the Gibson J-45™ Standard and SJ-200™ Standard acoustic guitars now feature new finish options to enliven your songwriting and stage endeavors. Heritage Cherry Sunburst expands the J-45 lineup, while the lovely Tri-Burst expands the SJ-200 Standard array.
The legendary Gibson J-45 is hailed as the best-selling Gibson acoustic guitar model in history. Known affectionately as “The Workhorse,” this iconic instrument made its debut back in 1942 and soon became the cornerstone of the round-shoulder Gibson dreadnought line.
Renowned worldwide for its unparalleled balance and rich midrange, over the decades, the J-45 has undergone meticulous refinement to soar to even greater heights. Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, its round-shoulder body delivers a sound that spans incredible dynamic range—a classic tonewood blend perfect for every musical genre.
Meanwhile, Gibson is continuing the legacy of the “King of the Flat-Tops,” the SJ-200 Standard. Since its dazzling debut in 1937, the SJ-200 has set an unparalleled standard in the realm of acoustic guitars. Finished in glossy nitrocellulose lacquer and featuring flame maple back and sides and many other visual flourishes, no other guitar quite makes the same aesthetic statement.
With an internal L.R. Baggs™ Anthem mic/pickup system and a Gibson hardshell case included, the SJ-200 Standard is ready to enchant audiences everywhere.
