The Epiphone J-45 is part of the Inspired by Gibson line, faithfully recreating the iconic look and tone of the legendary J-45 while offering modern playability and stage-ready electronics. Known as “The Workhorse,” the J-45 has been a cornerstone of folk, rock, and country music since its introduction in 1942. Its slope-shouldered dreadnought shape, warm mahogany body, and resonant Sitka spruce top deliver the balanced tone and projection that has made this guitar a favorite of countless artists.

This model features all solid woods — Sitka spruce for the top and mahogany for the back and sides — paired with quarter-sawn spruce bracing for a responsive, full-bodied sound. The rounded “C” neck profile and smooth laurel fingerboard make it easy to play whether you’re strumming, flatpicking, or fingerpicking. Modern appointments like a bone nut and saddle and medium jumbo frets add playability while retaining the guitar’s vintage vibe.

For live performance, the J-45 is equipped with a Fishman Presys VT pickup system, offering soundhole-mounted controls for volume and tone that keep the look clean while providing excellent amplified tone. Finished in an aged Vintage Sunburst gloss with ivory-and-black binding and the classic Kalamazoo headstock, this guitar combines timeless looks with reliable modern performance. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
