Epiphone J-45 EC Studio - Natural

Step into the spotlight with the Epiphone J-45 EC Studio, an acoustic-electric guitar that delivers a big, balanced tone at an unbeatable value. This instrument is built around the iconic Advanced Jumbo body shape, which, with its large lower bout and rounded upper bout, is known for producing a sound that is both full-bodied and exceptionally clear. It's a fantastic choice for singer-songwriters and solo performers, providing the natural volume, bass response, and bell-like highs needed for captivating accompaniment.

The J-45 EC Studio's distinct voice comes from its classic tonewood pairing. The solid Sitka Spruce top offers a responsive, punchy, and direct tone that yields tons of headroom, meaning you can really dig in without the sound breaking up. As a solid top, it will age and improve its tone over time. Paired with the layered Mahogany back and sides, you get a thick, mid-forward warmth that blends beautifully with the spruce's clarity and projection. This combination of spruce and mahogany provides a harmonic richness that sits well in any mix, whether you're plugged in or playing acoustically.

For those times when you need to amplify that great acoustic sound, the guitar comes stage-ready with the integrated Fishman Presys II preamp and Sonicore under-saddle pickup system. This sophisticated setup offers a 3-band EQ, a notch filter to fight feedback, and a built-in tuner, giving you full control over your amplified tone. The comfortable SlimTaper C-profile Mahogany neck and single Venetian cutaway ensure that those upper-fret runs are easy and fast, making this a workhorse that's ready for any gig or studio session.
