Gibson Acoustic J-45 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Vintage Sunburst

The J-45 is a truly legendary instrument, and we’re thrilled to have this new 12-string version at Palen Music Center. This iconic “Workhorse” model, celebrated by countless musicians, is built with a mahogany body and neck, paired with a Sitka spruce top. This classic combination of tonewoods produces a vibrant and powerful sound. The Sitka spruce top provides a broad dynamic range and is known for its clarity and projection, while the mahogany back and sides add a warm, woody character with a strong midrange. This guitar is a stellar choice for both on-stage performances and studio recordings. The SlimTaper neck profile ensures a comfortable playing experience, and with the included LR Baggs VTC electronics, you’re ready to plug in and let the beautiful, chiming tones of this 12-string fill any room.

This J-45 12-String is designed to deliver a rich, full sound with excellent projection and clarity. The Sitka spruce is a dense hardwood that provides a resonant, balanced tone and is known for having a clean, well-defined sound that can cut through a mix. The mahogany back and sides contribute to a warm and rich tone, with a prominent midrange that gives the guitar a powerful and focused voice. This instrument is built for comfort and performance, featuring a bone nut and saddle for enhanced resonance and Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners for stable and precise tuning. The J-45 is a timeless classic, and this 12-string version carries on that legacy with a tone that is both familiar and inspiring.
