Gibson J-45 Standard Purple Burst

A legend with a modern twist – now in a striking Purple Burst finish

The Gibson J-45™ has been the acoustic guitar of choice for countless icons for decades—and the moment you play it, you'll know why. This classic round-shoulder dreadnought exudes character: warm, full, and sparkling all at once. In the Purple Burst version, the timeless silhouette suddenly becomes something else—a real eye-catcher for players who effortlessly combine classic and distinctive styles.

Hand-built in Bozeman, Montana, with a clear Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the J-45 stays true to its roots. Hand-sculpted X-bracing delivers that signature punch and balance of warmth and definition – perfect for both fingerpicking and heavy strumming.

The rounded shoulder shape, comfortable dimensions, and smooth Indian rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl dot inlays make this guitar not only a feast for the ears but also for the fingers. And with the subtly concealed LR Baggs® VTC pickup, you're instantly ready for the stage, with a natural, dynamic amplified tone that reveals exactly what you're putting into it.

The J-45 in Purple Burst: a classic with a modern flair – ready to make history again.
