Gibson has unveiled a refresh of three of its most storied acoustic guitars, offering the J-45 Standard, Hummingbird Standard and SJ-200 Standard in a Rosewood Burst finish, with solid rosewood on the back and sides a tantalising alternative to the more commonly found mahogany.
The three Standard acoustics will join Gibson’s Modern acoustic lineup, and share a lot of specs in common. The raw materials across all three designs are largely the same, with Gibson using solid Sitka spruce for the tops, braced it with traditional hand-scalloped X pattern bracing, and solid rosewood on the back and sides.
