Epiphone Inspired By Gibson J-45 EC, Aged Vintage Sunburst Highlights

• Slope-shouldered dreadnought-style guitar, with a lower bout cutaway
• Solid Mahogany back and sides, with a Solid Sitka Spruce top
• Sleek Mahogany neck with a Rounded “C” profile shape offers incredible fretting hand comfort
• Fishman Sonicore Pickup and Sontitone preamp allow for easy plug and play options
• Superb value for money – ideal for regular giggers and studio artists on a budget

Exquisite Tonewood Combination

For this guitar, Epiphone took the much-loved slope-shouldered dreadnought guitar shape, crafted it from Solid Mahogany and Solid Sitka Spruce, and equipped it with an upper-bout cutaway.

Combining these solid tonewoods results in the kind of classic, woody voice that’s been favoured by singer-songwriters and folk-guitarists for decades.

Fishman Electronics

Complimenting the guitar’s beautiful, natural voice is a premium-quality electronics system in the shape of a Fishman Sonicore under-saddle pickup, and a Fishman Presys II preamp.

Whilst the pickup helps to capture an accurate representation of your guitars voice, the preamp – along with its controls for volume and EQ, and built-in tuner – allow you to plug into an amplifier or mixing desk, so you can confidently perform for larger audiences.
