Epiphone's latest version of the iconic Workhorse
The classic J-45 has been the choice of legendary musicians since it was first introduced in 1942. Known as "The Workhorse," it is Gibson's most famous and popular acoustic guitar model. Epiphone has now released a new Inspired by Gibson™ J-45™ with all the features players want, including all-solid wood construction, a comfortable rounded C-shaped neck profile, 20 medium jumbo frets, a 60s-style Kalamazoo headstock shape, and a stunning Aged Vintage Sunburst finish. The under-saddle Fishman® Presys VT™ pickup and preamp also make this Workhorse stage-ready. An optional hardshell or EpiLite™ case is available separately.
Battery is not included. To power your pickup, you will need a 9-volt battery.
