Product Description

Epiphone's Inspired by Gibson range is a stunning homage to some of the most famous guitars ever made. Better yet, you get all the iconic features that made the original instruments great at a price that won't have you counting pennies.

There's a reason so many big name players flocked to the J-45: it proved to be a workhorse in every sense, thanks to unwavering reliability and flexible dynamics. It possesses most of the power of the Gibson Hummingbird but produces a slightly more delicate top end.

Construction

The slope-shouldered body proves to be one of Epiphone's most comfortable models. It's made of a solid body mahogany and solid sitka spruce top, ensuring classic character in the bucketloads.

Attached is a comfortable rounded “C” neck with a familiar 24.74 inch scale length fretboard containing contemporary medium-jumbo frets. Completing the humble aesthetic are mother of pearl dot inlays and a vintage sunburst finish. Hardware features nickel Epiphone ivory colour machine heads and bridge pins. The ever-reliable bone nut and saddle combo keep the J-45's tuning super stable.

Electronics

Need some extra oomph? Plug the J-45 into a PA system (and sound great) thanks to a Fishman Sonicore pickup and Sonitone volume and tone controls.

Mr James Duckett18th Jan 2024

It’s an amazing guitar for the money. Looks great, feels like real quality woods and sounds beautiful. Only minor criticism is that the action at the 12th fret is very high but nothing a small set up adjustment won’t sort. Also worth noting that it is a chunky neck so for those who prefer a slim neck it may not feel the most comfortable.

A beautiful guitar which sounds great. A couple of minor grumbles - the action on this particular Epiphone J45 is really high and will need sorting at some point. Some of the bridge pins were also not fully pushed in when I opened up the box. Otherwise, really happy with the guitar.
