Epiphone J-45 Aged Vintage Sunburst Gloss Acoustic Guitar 

Since its debut in 1942, the iconic J-45 has been the go-to choice for legendary musicians, earning its reputation as The Workhorse. Now, Epiphone brings you the Inspired by Gibson J-45, crafted for players who demand exceptional tone and playability.

Featuring an all-solid wood construction, a comfortable rounded C neck profile, and 20 medium jumbo frets, this guitar delivers a premium feel and rich, resonant sound. The vintage-inspired details, including a 60s-style Kalamazoo headstock and a stunning Aged Vintage Sunburst finish, add to its classic appeal. Equipped with a Fishman Presys VT under-saddle pickup and preamp, this Workhorse is stage-ready right out of the box.

Optional hardshell or EpiLite case available separately.
