Used Epiphone J-45 EC Studio Factory 2nd - Vintage Sunburst

Used Epiphone J-45 EC Studio Factory 2nd - Vintage Sunburst

Unleash your inner "Workhorse" with the Epiphone J-45 EC Studio, a fantastic acoustic-electric inspired by Gibson's legendary round-shoulder dreadnought. This beauty is crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top, a tonewood renowned for its loud, resonant, and clear voice that only gets better with age, deepening in harmonic richness the more you play it. Pair that powerhouse top with select mahogany back and sides—a combination that provides a full, deep body to the tone—and you get a sound that is both articulate and warm. The mahogany contributes to rich harmonics, excellent projection, and clarity, giving you a full, robust sound that can hold its own in any mix.

The comfortable SlimTaper C-shape mahogany neck and 12" radius pau ferro or Indian laurel fingerboard (depending on the exact production run) offer superb playability, making it a joy for players of all levels. The iconic J-45 design, originally introduced in 1942, has been the trusted companion of countless legendary musicians throughout the decades. Now, with a classic cutaway for easy access to the upper frets and a state-of-the-art Fishman Presys II preamp and Sonicore pickup system, this Epiphone J-45 EC Studio is ready for the stage, the studio, or your couch. Whether you're strumming hard or fingerpicking delicately, this guitar delivers a dynamic and responsive performance.
