Epiphone EI-J455AVBNH3 J-45 Acoustic Guitar - Aged Viper Blue

6-string Acoustic-electric Guitar with Spruce Top, Mahogany Back and Sides, Mahogany Neck, and Laurel Fingerboard - Aged Viper Blue

The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson J-45 Acoustic Guitar is a faithful homage to a true icon in the world of acoustic guitars. Originally introduced in 1942, the J-45 became a game-changer in the acoustic world and remains one of the most influential guitars ever created. Revered for its balanced and robust low end, along with its rugged midrange, the J-45 quickly gained the admiration of legendary musicians such as Woody Guthrie during the wartime era. This iconic dreadnought set the standard for the guitars that followed, earning the affectionate nickname, "The Workhorse." Now, the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson J-45 captures the essence of the original while making it more accessible to modern musicians. It features a solid Sitka spruce top, just like the original, paired with solid mahogany back and sides, producing that unmistakable, signature J-45 tone—rich, resonant, and full of character. The mahogany neck and Indian laurel fingerboard ensure that the guitar is not only comfortable to play, but also highly responsive to your touch. Whether you’re strumming rhythm or fingerpicking, the J-45 provides exceptional playability and sound.
