Default Does Gibson Make a Natural Color J-45 Standard?

I can't seem to find a natural J-45 Standard... I only see burst finishes... Does Gibson make a J-45 Standard with a natural color top?

What you're looking for is called a Gibson J-50.
Same guitar as a J-45 except the top is natural.

Actually, Gibson has gone back and forth on that very question a number of times. Some years J-45’s with natural finishes have been a regular part of their product line.

Other years it’s been what Cameleye described, with natural finish J-45’s being labeled and sold as J-50’s.

With Gibson it can be difficult to discern which way the wind is blowing any given year....

Hope that makes sense.
