  • Our take on the Epiphone J45 EC Studio Left-Handed

    The Epiphone J-45 Standard EC Left-Handed is a round-shoulder cutaway acoustic built in the Inspired by Gibson Collection. It pairs a solid spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides, so the tone opens up with age, and adds a cutaway for reach into the upper frets. The glued-in one-piece mahogany neck has a Rounded C profile, a rosewood fretboard with 20 frets and mother-of-pearl dots, and Grover Rotomatic tuners with a bone nut. It suits left-handed players who want the J-45 sound and look with lead-friendly upper-fret access, and it undercuts the Gibson original on materials and finish while keeping the classic tonewood recipe.

    About the Epiphone J45 EC Studio Left-Handed

    It is based on the Gibson J-45, a round shoulder acoustic model introduced in 1942. This version adds a cutaway body for easier access to the upper frets.

    The round shoulder cutaway body has a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides. The one-piece mahogany neck has a Rounded C profile and is glued to the body with a tapered dovetail joint. The rosewood fretboard has 20 standard frets and mother-of-pearl dot inlays. The 60s Kalamazoo-shape headstock has Grover Rotomatic tuners, a bone nut and a mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo inlay.

    A Fishman S-Core under-saddle piezo pickup and PreSys II preamp are preinstalled. The side-mounted controls adjust volume, bass and treble, and there is a phase switch. A built-in electronic tuner lets you check tuning during a performance. A combination battery box and endpin output jack makes battery replacement easy.

    Questions and answers

    Is the J-45 Standard EC fully solid wood?
    Yes. The top is solid spruce and the back and sides are solid mahogany, the same recipe as the J-45 Standard. Solid woods are said to improve in tone as the guitar ages.
    How does it differ from the standard J-45 Standard EC?
    It is the same guitar built for left-handed players, with the cutaway, solid tonewoods, Rounded C neck and Grover tuners. The main difference is the mirrored build.
    Does the cutaway change the sound?
    The cutaway removes some body mass on the upper bout, which can slightly reduce low-end volume compared with a full-body J-45. In return you get much easier access to the higher frets.
    Does it have a pickup or preamp?
    No. The description lists no electronics, so it is a pure acoustic guitar. You would need a soundhole or undersaddle pickup to amplify it.
    What is the neck profile like?
    The one-piece mahogany neck has a Rounded C profile, a middle-ground shape that suits both chord work and lead playing. It joins the body with a tapered dovetail joint.
    What is in the box?
    The guitar comes with its Grover Rotomatic tuners and bone nut fitted. The listing does not describe a case or gig bag, so plan on sourcing your own.
    Where is the Epiphone J45 EC Studio Left-Handed cheapest?
