Epiphone J-45 Standard EC | Vintage Sunburst

The Epiphone Inspired By Gibson J-45 EC pays tribute to one of Gibson’s most iconic round shouldered dreadnoughts. The J-45 is so popular amongst players that over the years it earned the nickname “the workhouse” because of its extreme versatility and tone! As part of Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson range, it’s designed with value firmly in mind, delivering classic Gibson-style looks and feel at a far more accessible price. It’s a great way to experience an iconic design without the premium price tag.

This J-45 EC features an all solid wood construction, which is great to see on an instrument at this price point, it really helps the overall tone and voice of the instrument. It features solid mahogany back & sides, paired up with a solid spruce top, both of which work together to deliver the iconic tone that the J-45 is known for. To make playability even easier, this version of the J-45 features a cutaway allowing for great upper fret access.

The one piece mahogany neck is glued to the body and attaches with a tapered dovetail joint. Thanks to the rounded “C” neck shape, this guitar is super quick and easy to navigate. The rosewood fingerboard is rich and super dark in colour. It’s equipped with 20 standard frets, a 24.75” scale length, 43mm nut width, bone nut, and mother of pearl dot inlays.

With a Fishman S-Core pickup built into the guitar, this J-45 is ready to hit the road or the studio right away. The S-Core is a really great pickup choice and really captures the natural characteristic of the body design. This J-45 also features a “belly-up” style bridge, and Grover rotomatic tuners.

This guitar ships in a premium Epiphone branded gigbag. A battery is not included. To power your pickup, you will need a 9-volt battery.
