Key Features
This guitar has a slight inconsistency in the finish on the headstock but has been quality checked by one of our team of repair technicians to ensure that it meets a high playing standard.
The Epiphone Inspired By Gibson J-45 is inspired by one of Gibson's most popular guitars, the Gibson J-45, enticing guitarists on a budget who want to achieve a high quality, resonant sound. Perform with a wealth of history behind you - the Gibson J-45 has been cherished since 1942, and this model goes one step further by encompassing some innovative features that meet the demands of the modern player. The superb C shaped neck profile allows for easy fretting, meaning you can focus on showcasing your virtuosic skills without hindrance, whilst the Fishman Sonicore pickup projects a dynamic sound out to your audience with clarity and that sought-after natural acoustic tone.
Making this guitar so special is its inclusion of elements that are found on Gibson's J-45. The solid sitka top and mahogany back and sides not only provide immense stability and playability, but also enhanced tonal qualities. Experiment with a sea of resonance and depth whilst your shimmering overtones flow over top.

Shaped with elegant sloped shoulders, the dreadnought body of this guitar is full of wonders that promise to improve playability as well as offering beautiful tonal possibilities. Crafted from mahogany, a robust and reliable wood, the back and sides focus on bringing out the lower to mid range frequencies for a stunning depth of sound that is strongly desired in an acoustic guitar. It has the ability to make your tone sound wonderfully full, an immersive quality that will undoubtedly capture anyone listening, whether you're in the studio or on stage. It is punchy, balanced, and perfect for shining overtones thanks to the emphasised midrange.
The solid sitka spruce top then compliments such a rich tonewood in sublime fashion and offers those shimmering trebles it begs for. Spruce enriches the higher frequencies to deliver the kind of bright clarity that will make every note sing gloriously. Its crisp articulation teams beautifully with the richness of mahogany and is versatile enough to welcome any style of playing.
When you're performing at your absolute best, you don't want to be hindered by poor design. The Epiphone J-45 ensures you can reach every single fret without any impediment, allowing you to play better than you ever have. The sloped shoulders make a world of difference when it comes to playing the higher frets comfortably. With similar tonal properties to that of rosewood, the Indian laurel fretboard embellishes your sound with vibrancy and balance in good measure, the perfect accompaniment to the mahogany neck. It also has a smooth and fast finish which accommodates your fretting even more. From chordal patterns to intricate playing techniques, this fretboard will feel soft and magical underneath your fingertips.
The beauty of this guitar lies in its wondrous combination of acoustic and electric aspects, without ever sacrificing that gorgeous authentic tone. Equipped with clever yet non-invasive electronics, the under-saddle Fishman Sonicore pickup captures the raw, warm tonal qualities of the guitar, meaning its natural sound is amplified with glorious definition. Tailor your sound with precision using the Fishman Sonitone preamp, it allows for amazing freedom and versatility whilst staying true to the guitar's authentic sound. From small, intimate settings to larger, sold-out venues, the Epiphone J-45 promises a magical gig.
