The Most Affordable USA Gibson Acoustics! | Gibson G45s 

How iswas the thickness of the neck? Is it easy to play bar chords on thew higher frets? They said it was thicker neck….

It’s rosewood.

On the more expensive model it’s Richlite...go figure.

@@harrisjon1 Yep, they should have put the Richlite on the cheap one!

yeah, its a Rosewood fingerboard and bridge.

No rosewood in these guitars. The cheaper studio model has a walnut fingerboard and bridge. Richlite in the standard.

Wat is fretboard radius?

Fretboard doesn’t impact sound. And they do have scalloped bracing actually. I have one of these and I have looked on the inside with a camera.

@@bruzanHD yeah. The specs I read have been wrong several times. I've had to check n double check by phone calls to find this out. Had a cheapy guitar n oiled the fretboard n it changed the tone a bit. Ebony has a distinctive sound. Walnut as well. Wen u play a guitar that sounds like it has a delay effect that is the sound of strings from fretboard hitting ur ears then te sound of strings coming from sound hole. That is also y strings that r too close to fretboard lose volume n change tone of guitar. If they r lil higher off fretboard they resonate more, off fretboard. That can be googled easily. U may find a luthier that does not agree with that but most do. Same with recording. One mic position is between the 12th n 15th fret on the fretboard. That is far enough away from sound hole to not be boomy n at the point where the strings r their highest off neck for fretboard resonance. Also, saw demo of an electric guitar with an aluminum fretboard. Gave the guitar an all together different sound. N that was on an electric. Yes indeed fretboard tonewoods r very influential to the tone n volume of guitar. That is also y u will never see a fretboard of mahogany. Way too mellow of a tonewood

For some reason they have used dynamic microphones when there's a condenser microphone on the shelf behind them

They're scalloped x bracing only a handful at the very beginning were non scalloped . They quickly went to scalloped I have one it's scalloped

😀

the reason is because there is no input jack.

The studio is $999 for a USA made guitar. That is not a lot of money at all for it. I own one and it's an excellent guitar. These days you can buy them online with 12 or 18 month payment plans with 0% apr, so what you're saying makes zero sense. There are plenty of great, cheaper priced instruments made in the far east for people. Fender and Gibson understand their customer base and margins.

@@jski718 Your a absolutely right, and to add the guitar will last a lifetime. But someone like Phil will probably blow a grand on a phone every year 😂 and gripe about a guitars price.

Splurged on one about a month ago and I absolutely love it. I've played $150 acoustics my whole life and I finally decided to upgrade. The value is in that you will keep this guitar (which plays better with age) for many years.

See One, Do One They hold their value much better also. Phil seems to forget the massive difference in labor wages from the USA to the far east. Not only that, but the guys in Bozeman are spending more time crafting these guitars as well. I got a G-45 Studio and it was worth every penny

yeah but this one is a LOT cheaper then other Gibson's like the Hummingbird, J45, SJ200, ect ect..........they can sell from anywhere between 4-6 Thousand THIS GIBSON is no more then 1,300 WELL WORTH IT
