Wanted to revisit this question because I'm curious and hope that someone may have some insight. Is there a difference in body depth between the G45 Studio and Standard like with the J45 Studio and Standard?

Yes, the same difference as with the J45 and J45 Studio.

Sorry, that's wrong. Both the Studio and Standard G-45s have the same slim body depth - similar to the J-45 Studio. The main differences respectively, between the Studio and Standard, are: the fingerboard, walnut vs Richlite; and the top finish, satin vs gloss.
Someone else said the specs of the G-45 were similar to the J-45. They are not even close: the J-45 is mahogany back and sides and the G-45 is walnut back and sides, the Gs have a 16" radius fingerboard (I think the J-45 is 12"... might be wrong). Also, without double-checking, I assume the J-45 has an LR Baggs pickup, the G-45 has a Sonitone. To avoid this sort of confusion, maybe Gibson should really have designated them G-15. . .

Haha... yeah (I think I'm getting my D-45 and J-45 mixed up)... well one thing I was right about, it's definitely NOT walnut!

It's okay lol. I have so many guitar etc. specs stuck in my head. I should probably start freeing up some disk space for the important stuff!

Any chance anybody could take a picture of the inside of their G45? Didn't get a chance to look inside the one I played at Guitar Center, would like to see the bracing.

Here is a pretty thorough review of both emphasizing what is identical between the two and what is different. https://youtu.be/JDeYxhPrhR4 |

Edit: sorry wrong thread!
Played both the Guild F2512e and the Takamine GJ72CE-12 today. The Takamine sounded too thin unplugged and felt overbuilt. The Guild 2512 sounded a lot better, lacked some low end though and, more important, the bridge was lifted/tilted. A gap was visible on the back of the bridge where one could stick a thin size plectrum in. Too bad that they were still trying to sell that piece of junk as a 'demo model'. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually a customer return. Also tried a Guild 1512, man, that thing was lovely but I couldn't justify paying more than double the price of the 2512 for a 12-string. More so because I still have a Gibson G45 Studio and/or a Yamaha LL16 A.R.E. on my shopping list.

Going on one month since I got my G45 Standard.
Liking it more and more each day. Right out of the box, the setup was perfect. I made two minor changes. First, it came from the factory strung with 12's. Too heavy for me so, I dropped down to a set of Elixir 11's. The second was the truss rod cover. Not a fan of the fake wood. Very cheesy looking for a Gibson so, I replaced it with a Les Paul "Standard". Fit right in and more to my liking. All in all, a great guitar. IMHO.....Gibson got it right with this one.

Last week, when I bought a SJ-200, I played some other guitars too. A D-18, D-28, an absolute INCREDIBLE Santa Cruz J-45 (or whatever Santa Cruz calls them) and a J-45 Walnut Studio.
It seems there are many nice Gibson Studios out there, but that one was terrible. Or I just don‘t like walnut? I don’t know, it was the first and only walnut guitar I‘ve ever had in my hands. It was disappointing, because I always liked the idea of using walnut in guitars because of its availability.
