The Epiphone J-45 Studio is part of the brand-new Epiphone Studio Acoustic Collection. These guitars have been completely redesigned to offer the most authentic and affordable acoustic guitars inspired by legendary Gibson designs. The J-45 Studio offers a blend of classic design and modern functionality and was designed to appeal to beginners and experienced players alike. Based on the classic Gibson J-45 “The Workhorse,” the J-45 Studio features a cutaway body and a 24.75-inch 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 variety of musical styles. The J-45 Studio features a multi-layer mahogany body with four-layer ivory and black binding on the top, single-layer ivory binding on the back, and a solid spruce top for a responsive, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that sounds even better as it ages. The mahogany neck is joined to the body with a glued tapered dovetail joint and features a rounded C-profile that ensures comfortable playability. The neck is fitted with a rosewood fingerboard with 20 standard frets and is adorned with simple pearloid dot inlays. The other ends of the strings are routed over a compensated plastic nut and anchored to the belly-up rosewood bridge with ivory-colored bridge pins.

We’ve also added other details that give the J-45 Studio an even more vintage look, including a teardrop-shaped, dark tortoiseshell-colored pickguard, three-in-one plate tuners with ivory-colored plastic buttons, and a 1960s Kalamazoo-style headstock proudly featuring the Epiphone logo in gold screen printing. The J-45 Studio is equipped with Fishman electronics, including an S-Core under-saddle pickup and a Fishman Presys VT preamp with volume and tone controls mounted on the soundhole, which are quick and easy for the player to access while remaining virtually invisible to the audience. The Epiphone J-45 Studio features a gloss finish and is available in two vintage-inspired colors: Natural and Vintage Sunburst.

A battery is not included. To power the pickup, you’ll need a 9-volt battery.
