Epiphone J-45 Standard EC Honey Burst

Epiphone J-45 Standard EC Acoustic Guitar in Honey Burst Including Gigbag!

Since its introduction in 1942, the Gibson J-45 has been the centerpiece of Gibson's round-shoulder acoustic guitar lineup. It's the company's most popular acoustic model ever made. Known for its unadorned practicality and wide acceptance across genres, it quickly earned the nickname "The Workhorse" (the workhorse).

Now Epiphone is proud to introduce the J-45 Standard EC. This new model, part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection, delivers the same tone and functionality as the J-45 Standard but adds the advantages of a cutaway body for greater expression and improved access to the upper frets.

The J-45 Standard EC features a round-shoulder cutaway body with a solid mahogany back and sides. The mahogany body is paired with a solid spruce top, creating the classic tonewood combination at the heart of the J-45 design. Because it's built from solid tonewoods, this guitar's sound improves with age.

The one-piece mahogany neck is glued to the body with a tapered dovetail joint. The neck has a comfortable Rounded C profile and a rosewood fingerboard with 20 standard frets and mother-of-pearl dot inlays. The headstock wears the popular 1960s "Kalamazoo" shape and is fitted with precise, smooth-running Grover Rotomatic tuners and a bone nut. It is decorated with an inlaid mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo.

The Epiphone J-45 Standard EC also comes equipped with a Fishman S-Core under-saddle piezo pickup and a preinstalled PreSys II preamp, making it ready for both live performance and studio recording. The preamp features side-mounted controls for volume, bass, treble and a phase switch, while a combined battery compartment and endpin output jack simplifies battery changes. It even includes a built-in electronic tuner so you can check your tuning quickly and easily, even mid-performance.

The guitar also ships with a premium gigbag to keep your J-45 Standard EC safe when not in use and to make transporting it to your next jam, rehearsal or gig effortless.
