At Guitar Paradise we have a great range of Epiphone acoustic guitars, available both instore and online through our webstore!
The Gibson J-45 has been the cornerstone of Gibson’s round shoulder acoustic lineup since it was first introduced in 1942. It is the most popular acoustic guitar model ever made by the company. Renowned for its no-nonsense practicality and wide acceptance and use across genres, it quickly earned the nickname, “The Workhorse.” Now, Epiphone is proud to introduce the J-45 Standard EC.
This new model, which is part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection, features all of the tone and utility of the J-45 Standard, but also incorporates the advantages of a cutaway body for even more expressiveness and upper-fret accessibility. The J-45 Standard EC features a round shoulder cutaway body with a back and sides made from solid mahogany. The mahogany body is paired with a solid spruce top for the classic tonewood recipe that is at the heart of the J-45 design. Since it is made from solid tonewoods, the sound of this guitar will only improve as it ages. The one-piece mahogany neck is glued to the body and attaches with a tapered dovetail joint. The neck has a comfortable Rounded C profile and is topped with a rosewood fretboard with 20 standard frets and mother-of-pearl dot inlays.
The headstock features the popular 60s Kalamazoo shape, and is equipped with precise and smooth-turning Grover Rotomatic tuners and a bone nut, and is adorned with the Epiphone logo inlaid in mother-of-pearl. The Epiphone J-45 Standard EC also comes with a Fishman S-Core under-saddle piezo pickup and PreSys II preamp preinstalled, so it’s ready for live performances as well as studio recording.
The preamp features side-mounted controls for volume, bass, treble, and a phase switch, while a combination battery box and endpin output jack make battery replacement easy. It even has an electronic tuner built in so you can quickly and easily check your tuning, even in the middle of a gig. A premium gig bag is also included to help keep the J-45 Standard EC safe when not in use, and allows for easy grab-and-go transport to your next jam session, rehearsal, or gig. A battery is not included. To power your pickup, you will need a 9-volt battery.
