Built for Today’s and Tomorrow’s Stars

The Gibson J-180 has been the choice of rock, country and pop royalty, including legendary artists like the Everly Brothers, Cat Stevens, Dwight Yoakam and Billie Joe Armstrong, to some of today’s most celebrated artists. In collaboration with Gibson™ Custom, Epiphone is proud to release a new iteration of this player-favorite guitar. The Epiphone J-180 LS is loaded with premium features, including a thermally aged solid spruce top with scalloped X-bracing, solid mahogany back and sides, a one-piece mahogany neck with a 25.5-inch scale length, a C-shaped profile, a laurel fingerboard and the iconic mother-of-pearl “starburst” inlays the model is known for. The compensated nut, bridge pins and saddle are made of bone, and the headstock features the world-famous Gibson-style “open book” headstock shape, with the Epiphone logo and headstock star proudly displayed in mother-of-pearl. A Gibson Custom-inspired Double Diamond emblem is engraved on the back of the headstock. Available in a variety of eye-catching colors and equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ Bronze under-bridge piezo pickup and an L.R. Baggs Element Bronze VTC preamp system, this exceptional guitar is ready for the stage and studio right out of the included hardshell case.

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