A blend of classic design and modern functionality in a slope-shouldered Workhorse acoustic
The Epiphone J-45 Studio 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 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 “The Workhorse,” the J-45 Studio has a sloped shoulder body and 24.75” scale length, just like the Gibson model that inspired it. The J-45 Studio delivers a warm, rich tone with exceptional clarity, making it ideal for a wide range of musical styles. The J-45 Studio has a layered mahogany 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 topped with a rosewood fretboard 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 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 comes with Fishman electronics, including an S-Core under-saddle pickup and Fishman Presys VT preamp with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls that are fast and easy to access for the player while remaining nearly invisible to the audience. The Epiphone J-45 Studio 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.
