{"product_id":"j-45-studio","title":"J-45 Studio","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Workhorse Look, Epiphone Price\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gibson J-45 has been called \"The Workhorse\" since 1942 — it's shown up on countless recordings, stages, and living room floors because it just works. The Epiphone J-45 Studio takes that same sloped-shoulder silhouette and makes it genuinely accessible, with a solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, and Fishman electronics all in one gloss Vintage Sunburst package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the newer Studio Acoustic Collection version of the J-45 Studio — a significant reimagining of the model. If you've been looking for a round-shoulder acoustic that can pull double duty at home and on a small stage, this is the conversation to have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA note before we go further: this model has been discontinued by Epiphone. Stock is limited to what's on hand. If you've had your eye on a Vintage Sunburst J-45-style acoustic at this price point, now's the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSolid Top, Sloped Shoulders\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J-45's body shape is one of the most recognizable in acoustic guitar history — that larger lower bout paired with a smaller, rounded upper bout creates a voice that's focused and full at the same time. The solid spruce top is the heart of it, giving you that touch-sensitive response that opens up as you play harder or softer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe layered mahogany back and sides add warmth and body to the spruce's natural clarity. The result is a balanced tone that works whether you're finger-picking at home, strumming in a band setting, or recording a quick demo. Four-ply ivory and black binding on the top and single-ply ivory binding on the back round out the vintage-correct look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNeck, Fretboard, and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mahogany neck uses a Rounded C profile — one of the most universally comfortable shapes out there. It's joined to the body with a glued-in tapered dovetail joint, which keeps things stable while transferring vibration efficiently from neck to body. The 24.75\" scale length matches the original Gibson J-45, giving you slightly looser string tension than longer-scale acoustics and making bends and chord transitions a little easier on the fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rosewood fretboard is fitted with 20 standard frets and simple pearloid dot inlays. The belly-up rosewood bridge anchors the strings with ivory-colored bridge pins — a small detail that goes a long way toward nailing that classic aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFishman Electronics, Vintage Style\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J-45 Studio comes ready to plug in, with a Fishman S-Core under-saddle pickup paired with a Fishman Presys VT preamp. Volume and tone controls are mounted in the soundhole, where you can reach them easily mid-song without them drawing attention from the audience. It's a clean, practical system that doesn't get in the way acoustically or visually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vintage-style appointments extend to a teardrop-shaped dark tortoiseshell pickguard, three-on-a-plate tuners with ivory plastic buttons, and a 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock with the Epiphone logo in gold silkscreen. In Vintage Sunburst gloss finish, this guitar looks like it costs considerably more than it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sloped-shoulder round-shoulder design inspired by the Gibson J-45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid spruce top for responsive, balanced tone that improves with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Layered mahogany body with four-ply ivory\/black top binding and single-ply ivory back binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glued-in mahogany neck with Rounded C profile and tapered dovetail joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFretboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood fretboard with 20 standard frets and pearloid dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.75\" — same as the original Gibson J-45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fishman S-Core under-saddle pickup with Fishman Presys VT soundhole-mounted preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss Vintage Sunburst with teardrop tortoiseshell pickguard and nickel hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three-on-a-plate tuners with ivory plastic buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart of the Epiphone Studio Acoustic Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Epiphone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e J-45 Studio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e EA22VSNH3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
