Gorgeous Ebony Finish

Deep resonance and amazing projection

First produced by Gibson in 1936, the Advanced Jumbo acoustic guitar was quickly replaced by the J-200 Super Jumbo after only 300 instruments were produced. Favored by bluegrass players in the 1930s, Advanced Jumbo guitars were highly regarded. Some modern collectors have dubbed these guitars "the best flat-top in Gibson's entire history." Currently prized by collectors and musicians, original Advanced Jumbo guitars sell for exorbitant sums of money on the used market. Now, thanks to Epiphone, you can grab one of these revered instruments for yourself.

Natural live tone

Lurking just under the Epiphone Masterbuilt AJ-45ME acoustic-electric guitar's soundhole is a state-of-the-art preamp that gives you easy access to control your volume, as well high- and low-frequency EQ. You also get a phase switch that instantly cuts feedback without affecting tone. The Nanoflex pickup senses both the vibrations of the strings and soundboard for a truly acoustic amplified sound that combines accurate body and string tone with percussive attack — sort of like having a microphone mixed with a pickup. It's the best of both worlds.

Masterbuilt Epiphones: a grand lineage

The Epiphone Masterbilt AJ-45ME acoustic-electric guitar stems from a renowned lineage.
