Epiphone Masterbilt AJ-45ME Vintage Sunburst Satin Electro-Acoustic Guitar

General

For guitarists who want an electro-acoustic workhorse and pleasure horse in one, here's the Epiphone AJ-45ME. This flattop guitar is based on the Gibson J-45 but comes with the sublime value for money of the lauded Masterbilt Series. Offering a level of playing comfort and quality of sound you won't quickly come across in this price range, this Advanced Jumbo model boasts an all-solid construction. The body parts are made up of a classic mix of wood types, including a sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, resulting in voluptuous tone that even acoustically alone covers enough range for pop, country and rock music.

The Masterbilt AJ-45ME: Comfortable, Solid and Natural Amplification

Even singer-songwriters and vocalists who occasionally team up with a band will be able to effortlessly manage this Epiphone flattop, especially considering the superbly comfortable Slimtaper D-profile mahogany neck. The preamp and matching pickup from Fishman make sure the AJ-45 has one foot set firmly in the 21st century while providing you with enough options to sculpt a beautifully natural sound. Meanwhile, the controls are discreetly hidden away from sight in the sound hole and excellent vibration transfer from both the strings and the solid top is ensured by the Nanoflex pickup.
