This Epiphone J-180 LS Acoustic-Electric Guitar has been a consistent staple in rock music, notably played by the Everly Brothers, Cat Stevens, Dwight Yoakam, and Billie Joe Armstrong. Built as a collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop, and part of the "Inspired by Gibson Custom" line of new Epiphones, this rendition of the J-180 now comes in a handful of fresh colors, including this ebony, as well as a sleek Pink and a classy Frost Blue.

A jumbo-sized solid mahogany body makes this a special acoustic, which is taken a notch further by its thermally aged solid spruce top, working together with scalloped X bracing to project with clarity. A one-piece mahogany neck is attached, featuring a cozy C-profile and topped with a laurel fingerboard with twenty frets and iconic Mother-of-Pearl Star inlays. The total scale length of this guitar is 25.5 inches.

Coming stocked with an L.R. Baggs VTC under-saddle pickup and preamp system, the J-180 LS allows a hi-fi plugged in performance as well, staying true to its roots of being played by music icons on stages globally. Its soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls mean convenient access to shaping the guitar's amplified tone, but are visually discrete as well.

Hardware includes a reverse-belly bridge made of laurel to match the fingerboard, and Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines with Keystone Buttons. This instrument comes complete with a hardshell case, featuring the "Inspired by Gibson" logo on it.
