Epiphone J-45 Inspired by Gibson - Aged Vintage Sunburst Gloss
The Epiphone J-45 Inspired by Gibson is a faithful recreation of one of the most beloved acoustic guitars ever made. Known as the “workhorse” for its reliability and versatility, the J-45 has been a go-to for countless songwriters and performers—and this Epiphone version brings that legendary tone and feel into an instrument that’s beautifully affordable.
Finished in a stunning Aged Vintage Sunburst Gloss, it captures the timeless style of the original while offering modern refinements that make it a joy to play. The solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides creates the perfect tonal balance: warm lows, rich mids, and crisp highs, with projection that fills a room yet remains articulate and musical.
The rounded C-profile mahogany neck is incredibly comfortable, inviting hours of effortless strumming or intricate fingerpicking. Topped with a laurel fingerboard and 20 medium jumbo frets, it offers smooth playability and a classic feel.
Equipped with Fishman Sonicore under-saddle pickup and Sonitone preamp, this J-45 is stage-ready, delivering a natural and dynamic amplified sound with easy-to-use onboard controls discreetly tucked away in the soundhole.
From intimate folk ballads to hard-driving rock rhythms, the Epiphone J-45 Inspired by Gibson is a guitar that feels at home in any style—faithful to the original but accessible to modern players.
At Musicmaker, we love guitars that carry both heritage and inspiration, and this J-45 does exactly that: an iconic acoustic, reborn and ready to make new stories.
