The Epiphone Masterbilt J-45 EC is inspired by one of Gibson's most popular guitars, the Gibson J-45, enticing guitarists on a budget who want to achieve a high quality, resonant sound. Perform with a wealth of history behind you - the Gibson J-45 has been cherished since 1942, and this model goes one step further by encompassing some innovative features that meet the demands of the modern player. The dreadnought cutaway body shape allows for easy fretting, meaning you can focus on showcasing your virtuosic skills without hindrance, whilst the Fishman Sonicore pickup projects a dynamic sound out to your audience with clarity and that sought-after natural acoustic tone.

Making this guitar so special is its inclusion of elements that are found on Gibson's J-45. The solid sitka top and mahogany back and sides not only provide immense stability and playability, but also enhanced tonal qualities. Experiment with a sea of resonance and depth whilst your shimmering overtones flow over top.
