Signature Slash tone. Legendary J-45 craftsmanship.
The Gibson Slash J-45 takes Gibson’s most famous slope-shoulder acoustic and infuses it with Slash’s personal touches, creating a signature model that’s as versatile as it is visually striking. With its bold Vermillion Burst finish, premium tonewoods, and modern playability upgrades, this is far more than just a guitar for Slash fans — it’s a professional-grade instrument built for serious musicians.
At its core, the Slash J-45 features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, producing the warm, balanced tone the J-45 is famous for—rich lows, clear mids, and sparkling highs that sit perfectly in any mix. Hand-scalloped X-bracing enhances projection while maintaining dynamic response across all playing styles.
The Slash Custom C-shape neck profile, paired with a flatter 16" fingerboard radius, offers smooth fretting and easy playability, whether you're strumming, fingerpicking or soloing. For stage and studio, the onboard LR Baggs™ VTC pickup system delivers natural, transparent amplification with excellent clarity and control.
Exclusive Slash signature features—including custom headstock artwork, a Slash truss rod cover (with spare blank cover), and a set of signature Slash Jim Dunlop Tortex picks—make this guitar a true collector’s piece while remaining a fully capable workhorse for live and studio use.
With its bold Slash aesthetics, hand-built Gibson craftsmanship, and stage-ready features, the Slash J-45 Vermillion Burst isn’t just a signature—it’s an exceptional acoustic built to inspire.
