Gibson Margo Price J-45 (Heritage Cherry Sunburst) inc Hard-Shell Case

The music of multiple award-winning artist Margo Price transcends the boundaries of traditional country, Americana, and classic rock, and her Gibson J-45™ acoustic has always been by her side during her rise as a top country artist. Gibson Custom’s Margo Price J-45 embodies the spirit, vision, and talent that has driven Margo to stardom and continues the nature-themed model tradition of Gibson. Inspired by her mid-60s J-45, a guitar she calls “my main baby; my guitar I play all the time,” this signature model blends vintage style with modern performance.

The Margo Price J-45 features a slightly thinner mahogany body paired with a red spruce top and traditional hand-scalloped advanced X-bracing. A mahogany neck with a Rounded profile and a rosewood fingerboard ensures smooth, effortless playability, while Grover® strap tuners with white buttons provide rock-solid tuning stability. The nut and saddle are bone, with TUSQ® bridge pins enhancing resonance and sustain. Equipped with L.R. Baggs Element VTC electronics, this guitar is ready for both studio sessions and live performances straight out of its included hardshell case.

Margo drew inspiration from red-tailed hawks, which prominently feature on the distinctive double 50s-style pickguards of her signature model. As she explains, “Red-tailed hawks have always been symbolistic to me. I see them everywhere, and I always have. They always come to me in my time of need with messages of strength and perseverance. Red, as a colour, relates to love, passion, and even anger—matters we typically associate with the heart. But if you look closely, the ends of the feathers are dipped in white, and the bird itself has a spiritual nature to them.”

“When I’m on long road trips, I look out the window and count them alongside the highway. They pass over me at the most kismet times, reminding me to find strength in my vulnerability and to open up and connect to those around me. I hope this guitar will remind those who play it of these lessons as well.”
