Description
The Epiphone J-45 Studio EC in Vintage Sunburst brings the warmth and workhorse tone of the J-45 into a cutaway body style that's built for modern players. If you're a beginner looking for your first real acoustic-electric or a working musician needing reliable tone and upper-fret access, this one covers both ends well. It's based on the classic slope-shoulder design, but updated with comfort and playability in mind.
It's got a solid spruce top and layered mahogany back and sides, delivering a warm low end and strong mids with plenty of clarity. The cutaway gives you easy reach past the 12th fret, and the Fishman Presys II electronics add intuitive side-mounted controls for volume, bass, treble, phase, and a built-in tuner. Whether you're on stage or recording direct, it's easy to get dialed in quickly without compromising the clean look of the guitar.
The 24.75" scale length and rounded "C" neck profile feel natural in the hand, and the rosewood fretboard plays smoothly across all 20 frets. Topped off with classic appointments like a dark tortoise shell pickguard, pearloid dot inlays, and vintage-style tuners, the J-45 Studio EC checks a lot of boxes for players who want flexibility without losing the character of the original. It's a dependable, great-feeling guitar we're always confident in recommending.
