Gibson Margo Price J-45 Heritage Cherry Sunburst

A tribute to artistry and nature

The Gibson Margo Price J-45 celebrates the Grammy-nominated artist’s passion for music and symbolism. Inspired by her beloved mid-’60s J-45, this model captures Margo’s timeless sound and spirit, blending traditional craftsmanship with meaningful design inspired by red-tailed hawks.

Construction and materials

Built with a slightly thinner mahogany body and a red spruce top featuring traditional hand-scalloped Advanced X-bracing, this J-45 delivers vibrant tone and impressive projection. Multi-ply top binding and single-ply back binding are complemented by a glossy Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish.

Neck and playability

The mahogany neck features a Rounded profile for a natural, comfortable feel. The Indian rosewood fingerboard has a 12" radius, 20 frets, and mother-of-pearl dot inlays. A compound dovetail neck joint secured with hot hide glue ensures exceptional sustain and resonance.

Design details

Distinctive dual 1950s-style tortoise pickguards with red-tailed hawk graphics honor Margo’s deep connection to nature and symbolize strength and perseverance. Other premium appointments include a rosewood belly-up bridge, bone nut and saddle, TUSQ bridge pins, and Grover tuners with cream buttons.

Equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element VTC undersaddle pickup and preamp with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls, this guitar is ready for stage and studio performance. Includes a Gibson hardshell case.
