Epiphone J-45 EC Studio - Natural Review

Great Deal, Great Value, Great All Around

Wonderful guitar, it really exceeded my expectations. Shipped in 2 days and was ready to play the moment I opened the box. GREAT DEAL... this guitar should easily be a 6 or 7 hundred dollar guitar... I recommend getting the hard case. It is an extra but one that is worth buying. All around wonderful product.

Don't be on the Fence About This One!

I was looking for an inexpensive back up guitar. I was bouncing back and forth between the Epi AJ220SCE and the Yamaha FGX820C Dreadnought Cutaway and both had very similar spec's. What one me over was the price difference, but once it arrived it sounds every bit as good as a $1,500 acoustic I have and plays even nicer. I love the tone and this guitar particularity sounds great… read more when I play any of the Eagles songs. The finish on the guitar is excellent the only thing you need to be aware of is that the end pins are larger than standard. The neck end pin is 3/8" od and the tail pin is 7/16 so if you plan on buying a strap you will need to find one to fit the end pins or make larger holes.

Beginner- Never Played Guitar

I've only been playing this for about a week and a half... don't have anything to compare to, but so far this is a great guitar! I do like how easy it is to tune. I'm learning something new every day! Sweetwater's customer service is outstanding!! Next time I need something for my guitar (or maybe an upgrade in the future)- Sweetwater is the first place I will look! :)

Owner since early 2018

I've owned or played just about everything out there...except an epiphone acoustic. I contacted Mickey Cushing and ordered this guitar with the epi case {and paid the extra for their professional setup). What a bargain! First off, Mickey is a very knowledgeable AND personable guy. And the guitar...what a gem! These Indonesion guitars are simply unbelievable. Aesthetically they are… read more perfect, the necks are slim and fast, and the electronics are better than what are in my Taylor 414ce. Now the projection is a little weak...but for the money I can't say enough about these guitars. I've been playing well over fifty years and this guitar goes down as one of my favorites!

Soooooo Sweet!!!

I pulled the guitar out of the boxes and packing material. There was not a fingerprint or smudge of any kind on it anywhere! The strings sounded incredibly fresh as they were brushed by the soft protective cover as I pulled that off of the guitar. I gave it a slow strum with my thumb ... it was not only in tune but intonated!! How's THAT for quality service?!?! Thank you David… read more Merkosky, my Sales Engineer, for your help with the process and being so patient with me and my indecisiveness. This is one of several Epiphones I purchased throughout the years and they still continue to impress me for the price and quality. Thank you again, David!! Much Peace to you and yours.
