Is There Such A Thing As a J-45 Standard?

[Twang Gang]

Got an email this afternoon from Gibson entitled "From Bozeman To You" touting how all the acoustic guitars were back in stock and available.  Great.  I opened it and browsed through the offerings.  There were no fewer than 12 different J-45 models, none of which appeared to be a stock Standard J-45.  There are ebony, cherry, rosewood, Banners, artist models, walnut, studio models, etc. etc. but no just plain mahogany with a spruce top sunburst J-45.

Just seemed odd to me that the basic "workhorse" Gibson acoustic isn't offered.

I know they are out there in the marketplace, and I am not looking to buy one.  I just question Gibson not mentioning them in their latest offering?

I got that email too, but the J45 was one of the first one listed

Nope.

They're all a notch above...

At least folks open them.  I just tend to zap them.

The j45 Standard was started around 2007 and came with the new slim taper neck, Rotos, sitka over mahogany and is still advertised.
