A tonal match to the spruce top the Epiphone J45EC acoustic guitar features a rosewood ‘reverse-belly’ bridge with a compensated saddle. Coping with the strain of the guitars neck this bridge keeps the guitar’s intonation and tone rock solid.

The Epiphone J45EC acoustic guitar’s new Shadow Performer Tuner preamp/NanoFlex pickup combination gives you a truer representation of the instruments voice and even more options than before.
The Shadow Performer Tuner offers all the controls you could need to sculpt your sound to suit. Along with the volume control the preamp features bass & treble controls, a chromatic tuner, and a feedback-reducing Phase switch.
