Epiphone J-45 Studio EC Acoustic/Electric Guitar - Antique Natural

Epiphone J-45 Studio EC | Natural | Haggerty’s Music

Classic design meets modern functionality. The Epiphone J-45 Studio EC is a cornerstone of the all-new Studio Acoustic Collection. This "Inspired by Gibson" model has been completely reimagined to provide the most authentic and affordable way to own the legendary "Workhorse" design, now featuring a cutaway body for enhanced upper-fret accessibility and performance versatility.

Now available at Haggerty’s Music in a stunning Natural gloss finish, the J-45 Studio EC delivers the warm, balanced tone that has made the sloped-shoulder dreadnought a favorite for generations of musicians.

Why the J-45 Studio EC Stands Out

Whether you are just starting your musical journey or are a seasoned pro looking for a reliable stage companion, this guitar offers professional specs at an incredible value.

• Solid Spruce Top: Built with a solid spruce top paired with layered mahogany back and sides, this guitar produces a responsive tone with an excellent dynamic range that actually improves as the wood ages.
• Fishman® Presys II Electronics: Ready to plug in and play, the integrated Fishman system features side-mounted controls for volume, bass, and treble, plus a built-in electronic tuner for quick adjustments on the fly.
• Enhanced Playability: The 24.75” scale length and Rounded C neck profile provide a comfortable, easy-to-play feel, while the sleek cutaway ensures you can reach every note on the rosewood fretboard.
• Vintage Aesthetics: Every detail honors its 1940s heritage, from the 60s Kalamazoo headstock with gold silkscreen logo to the dark tortoise shell-colored teardrop pickguard and ivory-button tuners.
• Balanced Tone & Clarity: Known as "The Workhorse" for a reason, this design provides the exceptional clarity and rich warmth needed to excel in everything from folk and country to rock and blues.
