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.
