Epiphone J-45 Studio EC Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Antique Natural

Classic design and modern functionality in a cutaway, slope-shouldered Workhorse acoustic

The Epiphone J-45™ Studio EC is part of the all-new Epiphone Studio Acoustic Collection. These guitars have been completely reimagined to offer the most authentic and affordable acoustic guitars inspired by iconic Gibson designs. The J-45 Studio EC offers a blend of classic design and modern functionality and was designed to appeal equally to beginners and seasoned players alike. Based on the classic Gibson J-45, which has become known as “The Workhorse,” the J-45 Studio EC has a cutaway sloped shoulder body and 24.75” scale length. The cutaway body allows for easy access to the upper frets. The J-45 Studio EC delivers a warm, rich tone with exceptional clarity, making it ideal for a wide range of musical styles. The J-45 Studio EC has a layered mahogany cutaway body with four-ply ivory and black binding on the top, single-ply ivory binding on the back, and a solid spruce top for a responsive, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that will sound even better as it ages. The mahogany neck is joined to the body with a glued-in tapered dovetail neck-to-body joint and features a Rounded C profile that ensures comfortable playability. The neck is capped with a rosewood fretboard that’s equipped with 20 standard frets and dressed up with simple pearloid dot inlays. The other ends of the strings are routed over a compensated plastic saddle and are anchored to the belly-up rosewood bridge with ivory-colored bridge pins. We also included other details that give the J-45 Studio EC even more vintage-style visual appeal, including a teardrop-shaped dark tortoise shell-colored pickguard, three-on-a-plate tuners with ivory-colored plastic buttons, and a 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock with the Epiphone logo proudly displayed in gold silkscreen. The J-45 Studio EC comes with Fishman™ electronics, including an S-Core under-saddle pickup and Fishman Presys II preamp with side-mounted volume, bass, treble, and phase controls. It also has a convenient built-in electronic tuner that makes it quick and easy to get tuned up. The Epiphone J-45 Studio EC has a gloss finish and is offered in two vintage-inspired colors—Natural and Vintage Sunburst. Both right and left-handed versions are available. A standard gig bag is also included.

A battery is not included. To power your pickup, you will need a 9-volt battery.
