When it comes to a good, solid, reliable acoustic guitar, there are few that can match the legendary Gibson J-45 – however, not everyone can afford the asking price. That is, until now!

Affordable Workhorse Acoustic

With the Epiphone Inspired By Gibson J-45, seen here in an Aged Vintage Sunburst finish, you get an electro acoustic guitar inspired by Gibson’s most popular acoustic model.

Epiphone Inspired by Gibson J-45, Vintage Sunburst Highlights

  • Slope-shouldered Dreadnought, inspired by the classic Gibson J-45
  • Solid Mahogany back and sides, with a Solid Sitka Spruce top
  • Sleek Mahogany neck, capped with a 20-fret Laurel fingerboard
  • Fishman pickup and preamp combine to offer easy plug and play options
  • Superb value for money – ideal for regular performers and aspiring recording artists

Solid-Wood Construction

To deliver that classic Gibson J-45 voice, this guitar has been crafted with all solid tonewoods – Mahogany for the back and sides, and Sitka Spruce for the top.

This tonewood pairing produces a classic combination of clarity and power, with a woody voice that’s perfect for folk guitar players, but also suitable for a wide variety of musical styles.

Fishman Electronics

For those situations where simply playing acousticly isn’t enough and you need an amplified boost, Epiphone have equipped this guitar with a Fishman Sonicore under saddle pickup and Sonitone preamp.

These electronics allow you to plug into your favourite amp or a PA system, and will reproduce an accurate audio image of your guitar’s natural sound.

In addition to this, the preamp is of a discreet, soundhole-mounted design and features rotary controls for both volume and tone, allowing you to make subtle adjustments to your output if needed.
