The Epiphone IGMTJ455-AVS J-45 Aged Vintage Sunburst Gloss is a tribute to the iconic Gibson J-45, also known as "The Workhorse." Introduced in 1942, the J-45 has earned its place as a go-to guitar for musicians. Epiphone's version replicates the original, using all-solid wood construction for exceptional sound quality. The mahogany body provides warmth and resonance, while the solid Sitka spruce top ensures clarity and projection.
The guitar’s sloped-shouldered dreadnought body shape makes it comfortable for extended playing sessions. The rounded "C" neck profile enhances playability. The Indian laurel fingerboard, with mother-of-pearl dot inlays, adds sophistication. The 20 medium jumbo frets offer smooth, easy playing across the entire fretboard.
Epiphone honors the original design with a 60s-style Kalamazoo headstock shape. The Aged Vintage Sunburst gloss finish adds a vintage look that stands the test of time. The Fishman Presys VT under-saddle pickup and preamp system make the guitar stage-ready. It delivers clear, natural amplified sound with excellent tonal accuracy.
The reverse belly laurel bridge, paired with a bone saddle, ensures superior string tension and sustain. The tortoise shell pickguard in J-45 shape enhances the guitar’s classic appearance. The dual-action truss rod offers precise neck adjustments, and the 24.724” scale length ensures comfortable playability. With a 1.692” nut width, this guitar fits comfortably in your hands.
The Epiphone IGMTJ455-AVS J-45 Aged Vintage Sunburst also includes optional hardshell or EpiLite™ cases for protection. A 9-volt battery is required to power the pickup system. In conclusion, the Epiphone J-45 Aged Vintage Sunburst Gloss merges traditional craftsmanship with modern features, perfect for both new and experienced guitarists.
