Gibson J-45 Standard Rosewood (Baggs HiFi DNA Preamp) - rosewood burst

Left-handed version.
The Gibson J-45—also known as “The Workhorse” and introduced in 1942—is one of the most popular acoustic guitars of all time. This Slope-Shoulder Dreadnought has played a major role in shaping the American folk sound in particular—and, by extension, the international folk sound—and has been featured on countless legendary albums. Its warm, expressive, and balanced tones have made it a timeless instrument.

The all-solid-wood construction of the GIBSON Modern Collection J-45 Standard Rosewood Left-Handed (MCRS45RWHFRBL) combines traditional woods with a Sitka spruce top, a rosewood body, a mahogany neck, and an Indian rosewood fingerboard (20 frets).
This combination produces a sound that is full, warm, and responsive, with rich, well-defined bass, balanced mids, and vibrant highs.
Compared to a model with a mahogany body, the bass is more pronounced, and the harmonic depth is enhanced.

This J-45 Standard Rosewood is equipped with the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system.
The HiFi DNA system uses two pickups positioned under the bridge instead of the usual piezo pickup. They perform recordings of both the vibrations of the strings and those of the soundboard. The result is an even more natural and dynamic sound that reproduces the instrument’s original acoustic character with greater fidelity.
Each Baggs HiFi DNA pickup has its own active preamp. The volume and tone controls are located on the inner edge of the soundhole.

The Gibson J-45 Standard Rosewood is a must-have electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar—fundamentally versatile—that will suit most musicians, regardless of their musical style or playing technique (fingerpicking, strumming).
