An excellent travel-friendly choice for acoustic veterans or an effortlessly manageable starting point for first-timers, Epiphone’s J-45 Express is your 7/8-size compact companion that will keep the tunes flowing. Its shortened 22.68-inch scale length lays a comfortable, easier-to-learn-on foundation for younger players and beginners while saving space for road trips in cramped quarters. Its C-profile mahogany neck extends this appeal of universal comfort, making navigation of its 19-fret laurel fingerboard a total breeze. With a solid spruce top and a body of layered mahogany, the J-45 Express also promotes a wonderful natural tone, with bright and balanced highs backed by a low end that’s rich in resonance. Rounded out with classic body binding, and a set of mini die-cast tuners, the J-45 Express proves itself to be a charming downsized champ that punches above its weight.
