EPIPHONE J45 STUDIO-NATURAL (EA22NANH1)

Solid Sitka spruce top for sweet tone that will keep improving

Sweetwater guitarists know that the choice of top wood can make or break the sound of an acoustic guitar. When engineering the J-45 Studio, Epiphone decided on a solid Sitka spruce top as much for its look as for its tone. Solid sitka spruce has a vibrant, lively sound with excellent projection and achieves that resonant sound that Epiphone wanted the J-45 to deliver. It additionally works to enhance note definition for a clear and articulate sound, ensuring that live performances and studio sessions reveal all the nuances of the player. And because it's a solid-wood top, the tone matures gracefully over time, enhancing harmonics and improving tone balance as the years go by.

Full-bodied projection and depth

Whether you play bluegrass, country, or rock, you need a guitar with a full voice that can hold its own in an ensemble. Thanks to the generous body size of the J-45 Studio, combined with the choice tonewoods, you'll take advantage of its full-ranging tone and excellent projection. For solo performances and recording, the sound is rich and solid from the lowest bass notes to the highest overtones. And if you play in an acoustic ensemble, the J-45 Studio sets a solid foundation that won't be overshadowed by the rest of the band.

Incredible dynamics meets affordability

The J-45 Studio gives you premium tonewoods and Epiphone's top-notch construction, at a price that's normally reserved for "beginner" guitars. And it's a great guitar to start with, thanks to its easy-playing SlimTaper neck that many players find more comfortable than larger, bulkier necks. But no matter how many years of playing you have under your belt, the full, robust tone and exceptional playability of the J-45 Studio is immediately noticeable. And thanks to its beautiful, dynamic, and responsive tonewoods, the sound will keep getting sweeter for years to come.
