The best-selling Gibson acoustic model of all time, the J-45 quickly earned the moniker “The Workhorse” due to its no-nonsense simplicity, understated elegance, and widespread use on stages and in recording studios worldwide. Now Epiphone, in partnership with Gibson Custom, is proud to introduce the Epiphone 1942 Banner J-45 Reissue, an incredible recreation of the legendary original Workhorse model from 1942. This exceptional acoustic guitar has a thermally aged, solid spruce top that is reinforced with scalloped X-bracing and paired with a solid mahogany back and sides for the rich, balanced tone that has made the J-45 a longtime player favorite. The body features single-ply ivory-colored top and back binding. The one-piece mahogany neck has a V-shaped profile and is capped with an Indian rosewood fretboard that is equipped with 19 standard frets and adorned with mother-of-pearl dot inlays. The headstock features the world-famous Gibson “open book” profile and has the Inspired by Gibson Custom double diamond logo etched on the back and an Epiphone logo and “Epiphone Inspired by Gibson” banner in gold silkscreen on the front. The three-on-a-plate tuners have cream buttons and use an open-back design, just like you’ll find on the vintage originals. The pickguard also uses the same tear drop shape found on the earliest J-45 models, while the rectangular rosewood bridge is equipped with a compensated bone saddle for improved intonation. The nut and bridge pins are also bone. To ensure it meets the needs and preferences of modern players, it comes equipped with a built-in L.R. Baggs™ Element Bronze VTC preamp and under-saddle piezo pickup system, so it’s stage and studio-ready whenever you are. A Red Line-inspired hardshell case, which features the Inspired by Gibson Custom logo on the exterior, is also included to keep this exceptional acoustic guitar safe when you’re traveling to your next gig.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs\u003cbr\u003eBack\u003cbr\u003eSolid Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBinding\u003cbr\u003eSingle-ply Ivory, Top and Back\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody Finish\u003cbr\u003eVintage Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody Material\u003cbr\u003eSolid Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody Shape\u003cbr\u003eJ-45\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody Styles\u003cbr\u003eRound Shoulder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBracing\u003cbr\u003eScalloped X-Bracing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide\u003cbr\u003eSolid Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTop\u003cbr\u003eThermally Aged Solid Spruce\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeck Specs\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material\u003cbr\u003eIndian Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFingerboard Radius\u003cbr\u003e304.8mm \/ 12.0in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFret Count\u003cbr\u003e19\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrets\u003cbr\u003eStandard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInlays\u003cbr\u003eMother-of-Pearl Dot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoint\u003cbr\u003eCompound Dovetail\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeck Material\u003cbr\u003eOne Piece Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNut Material\u003cbr\u003eBone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNut Width\u003cbr\u003e44.0mm \/ 1.73in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfile\u003cbr\u003eV\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale Length\u003cbr\u003e628.65mm \/ 24.75in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectronics Specs\u003cbr\u003eControls\u003cbr\u003eSoundhole Mounted Volume and Tone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutput Jack\u003cbr\u003e1\/4\" Endpin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreamp\u003cbr\u003eL.R.
