Solid Sitka spruce top for perpetually fantastic tone

Sadek Music, know that the choice of top wood can make or break the sound of an acoustic guitar. When engineering the J-45 Studio EC, Epiphone opted for a solid Sitka spruce top, not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its tone. Solid Sitka spruce has a vibrant, lively sound with excellent projection, achieving the resonant tone that Epiphone wanted the J-45 Studio EC to deliver. It additionally works to enhance note definition for a clear and articulate sound, ensuring that live performances and studio sessions reveal every nuance of your playing style. And because it's a solid-wood top, the tone matures gracefully over time, enhancing harmonics and tonal warmth as the years go by.

Full-bodied projection and depth

Whether you play bluegrass, country, or rock, you need a guitar with a full voice that can hold its own in an ensemble. Thanks to the generous body size of the Epiphone J-45 Studio EC, combined with the choice tonewoods, you can take advantage of its full-ranging tone and excellent projection. For solo performances and recording sessions, the sound is rich and solid from the lowest bass notes to the highest overtones. And if you play in an acoustic ensemble, the J-45 Studio EC sets a solid foundation that won't be overshadowed by the rest of the band.

Stage-ready Fishman electronics

Serving up superb stage sound is no issue with the Epiphone J-45 Studio EC’s onboard Fishman Presys VT preamp system. Via a carefully placed Fishman S-Core under-saddle pickup, the J-45 Studio EC’s electronics provide an excellent pathway to authentic, projective tone, all of which can be easily manipulated with the preamp’s built-in Volume and Tone controls.
