Epiphone J-45 Standard, Triburst

Full Description

Classic J-45 Tone With All-Solid Wood

The Epiphone J-45 Standard brings the legendary Workhorse tone with its all-solid wood construction. A solid Sitka spruce top provides crisp articulation and dynamic response, while solid mahogany back and sides add warmth and depth. This tonewood combination has defined the J-45 sound for decades, delivering rich lows, clear mids, and sparkling highs. If you're strumming full chords or picking delicate melodies, this guitar offers a well-balanced, resonant tone that stands out in any mix. The aged gloss finish enhances the natural resonance, allowing the wood to breathe and develop even more character over time.

Comfortable Rounded C Neck For Smooth Playability

Designed for effortless playing, the J-45 Standard features a rounded C neck profile that feels instantly familiar. Intricate fingerpicking patterns and bold rhythm strums feel natural thanks to its comfortable grip, making it suitable for a variety of playing styles. The laurel fingerboard has a smooth, natural feel, while the 12” radius ensures easy fretting and fluid movement up and down the neck. With 20 medium jumbo frets, this J-45 gives you plenty of space for expressive bends and slides. Combined with the 24.75” scale length, this design makes for a relaxed and enjoyable playing experience.

Fishman Presys VT Pickup For Natural Amplified Tone

Equipped with a Fishman Presys VT pickup system, the J-45 Standard is ready to perform on any stage. This discreet under-saddle pickup captures the natural warmth and resonance of the guitar, ensuring an organic and balanced tone when plugged in. The soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls allow for easy adjustments without compromising the guitar’s aesthetics. Playing through an acoustic amp or a PA system, the Fishman Presys VT delivers clear, responsive sound with excellent dynamics. This system ensures that the J-45 sounds just as full and expressive amplified as it does unplugged.

Vintage-Inspired Design With Triburst Finish

With its Triburst finish and classic Kalamazoo headstock, the J-45 Standard embodies vintage aesthetics with a modern twist. The tortoiseshell pickguard, reverse belly bridge, and 3-on-a-plate tuners with ivory buttons all pay homage to the golden era of acoustic guitars. The aged gloss finish not only enhances the vintage look but also allows the wood to resonate more freely. This attention to detail ensures that the J-45 looks as good as it sounds, making it a timeless addition to your collection. On stage or in the studio, this guitar exudes a level of style and heritage that sets it apart.
