Epiphone proudly presents the Inspired by Gibson J-45 acoustic-electric guitar. This innovative take on Gibson's most popular acoustic shape of all time brings the J-45 into the modern era with a cutaway body and Fishman electronics, allowing players to access the upper frets and plug-in for live performance. Handcrafted from all solid tonewoods, including a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the Epiphone J-45 produces the same full, balanced tone that has made the Gibson J-45 a legend.

- Mahogany neck with rounded C-profile, Indian laurel fingerboard, mother-of-pearl dot inlays
- 3-on-a-plate tuners with ivory buttons, Fishman Sonicore pickup and Sonitone preamp

Cutaway Body Provides Total Fretboard Access
While the Epiphone J-45 retains the familiar rounded dreadnought shape of the original, its cutaway body allows players to reach the upper frets with ease for advanced soloing and intricate chords. The cutaway, along with its comfortable rounded C neck profile and 12" fingerboard radius, makes the J-45 an exceptionally playable acoustic-electric guitar.
Fishman Electronics Bring the J-45 to the Stage
The Epiphone J-45 comes equipped with Fishman Sonitone electronics, including an undersaddle pickup and soundhole-mounted preamp with volume and tone controls. Plug in to be heard in any live performance setting or direct to your favorite recording gear. Shape your tone to perfection with the intuitive controls on the J-45's preamp.
All-Solid Construction Produces Legendary Tone
As with the original Gibson J-45, the Epiphone J-45 is crafted from all solid tonewoods, including a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides. This combination produces the warm, balanced tone the J-45 is famous for, with tight lows, sparkling highs and a robust midrange. The aged vintage sunburst gloss finish and ivory body binding add visual flair to this tonally impressive acoustic-electric.
Additional Premium Appointments
The Epiphone J-45 also features a mahogany neck, Indian laurel fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, and vintage-style tuners with ivory buttons. Dot inlays provide understated fretboard markers. With its impressive tone, playability and vintage-inspired style, the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson J-45 brings the legendary sound of Gibson's most famous acoustic shape to players of all levels.
