Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Original J-45 Standard LEFTY Vintage Sunburst

The J-45™ is the best-selling acoustic in the history of Gibson. Nicknamed “The Workhorse” and first introduced in 1942, this iconic acoustic guitar has become the cornerstone of its round shoulder dreadnought line. The J-45 is world-renowned for its full, balanced expression, warm bass, and excellent projection. The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson J-45 Standard has been refined to carry this legacy to new heights. The J-45 Standard delivers a sound with incredible dynamic range, warm mids, and a tight, punchy bass.

The Epiphone J-45 Standard is made using all solid woods, including solid mahogany for the back and sides, which is paired with a solid spruce top, delivering the classic tonal recipe that made the J-45 a player favorite. The one-piece mahogany neck has a comfortable Rounded C profile and is equipped with a rosewood fretboard with 20 standard frets and adorned with understated mother-of-pearl dot inlays. The headstock features the popular 60s Kalamazoo shape and is fitted with a bone nut and smooth-functioning Grover® Rotomatic® tuners so you can spend more time playing and less time tuning up. The belly-up bridge is also rosewood and is equipped with a bone saddle and ivory plastic bridge pins. The newly redesigned pickguard is the epoxy style and features the traditional teardrop shape, and is tortoise shell-colored.

The Epiphone J-45 Standard is equipped with a Fishman® Presys VT under-saddle pickup and preamp with volume and tone controls discretely hidden in the soundhole, where they are easy for the player to access while remaining all but invisible to the audience, so it is stage and studio-ready from the moment you take it out of the included premium gig bag. Countless players have embraced the legendary J-45 for decades, across a wide range of genres. Isn't it time you put The Workhorse to work for you and your music?
