The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson J-45 Standard brings the classic slope-shouldered dreadnought to life with a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and Shadow ePerformer electronics. Warm, punchy J-45 tone for professional players. Includes gig bag.
The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson J-45 Standard is a faithful tribute to one of Gibson’s most iconic acoustic guitars — the workhorse J-45 that has appeared on more recordings and stages than perhaps any other flattop in history. Epiphone brings the J-45’s classic slope-shouldered dreadnought shape, warm tone, and reliable playability to a more accessible price point without cutting the corners that matter.
The solid spruce top delivers the punch, clarity, and dynamic range that the J-45 is known for, responding beautifully to both fingerpicking and strumming styles. The mahogany back and sides add warmth and body, producing that full, rounded acoustic tone that records well and fills a room without effort. Shadow ePerformer electronics let you plug into any PA with a natural, transparent sound.
