A faithful tribute to one of the most iconic acoustics ever made, the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson J-45 captures the legendary tone and timeless design of the original “Workhorse.” With its solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, this slope-shoulder dreadnought delivers the warm, balanced sound that defined the folk and country music of the 1940s and beyond. The mahogany neck with Indian laurel fingerboard provides smooth playability and a vintage feel, while its classic sunburst finish and tortoise-shell pickguard complete the unmistakable J-45 look. Whether strumming around a campfire or performing on stage, this J-45 is built to inspire every player who picks it up.
 
When it’s time to plug in, the onboard Fishman S-Core electronics ensure that the J-45’s natural acoustic tone shines through any sound system. The rotary controls for Volume, Bass, and Treble let you easily shape your amplified tone, while the phase switch provides extra control to prevent feedback during live performances. With its superior craftsmanship, versatile sound, and stunning vintage appeal, the Epiphone J-45 delivers everything you’d expect from an heirloom-quality acoustic — at a far more accessible price.
