Gibson Announces New G-45 Series Collection, A New Generation Of Gibson Acoustic Guitars

Gibson is pleased to announce that today, July 2, the new G-45 Series Collection is available in North America and China. The same skilled artisans who build our most cherished and iconic acoustic models have put their heart and soul into this new collection of hand-crafted G-Series acoustics.

Created in our acoustic facility in Bozeman, Montana, the new G-45 series offers a superior sounding acoustic guitar at a compelling price, designed and crafted in the U.S.A. Each G-Series represents Gibson's commitment to creating the world's most relevant, played and loved guitars, which have shaped sound for 125 years, sought-after by countless artists, with the highest quality in both tone and appearance. The G-Series offer players of all levels, the perfect mix of tone, performance, traditional Gibson style and value. The G-Series acoustic integrates traditional build techniques that continue to separate Gibson from other major guitar makers, like a hot hide glue dovetail neck-joint, domed top bracing, blended with modern features, such as a slimmer body depth, and modern neck profile. The solid walnut back and sides are married to a solid Sitka spruce top, delivering a crisp sound with plenty of wonderful overtones and Gibson's definitive mid-range, the G-45 Series is outfitted with a Fishman Sonitone pickup for easy plug and play at home, in-the-studio or on stage.
