The Epiphone ECJ180LSPNKNH J-180 LS is more than just a guitar, it's a piece of musical history. Inspired by the Gibson J-180, the guitar that defined the sound of rock, country, and pop for generations, this acoustic-electric guitar delivers the same rich tone, classic design, and premium features that made the original a legend.
Made for the Stars of Today - And Tomorrow
The Gibson J-180 has been the choice of rock, country, and pop royalty, including legendary artists like the Everly Brothers, Cat Stevens, Dwight Yoakam, and Billie Joe Armstrong, up to some of today's most famous artists. In collaboration with Gibson™ Custom, Epiphone is proud to release a new version of this player-favorite guitar. The Epiphone J-180 LS is packed with premium features, including a thermally aged solid spruce top with scalloped X bracing, solid mahogany back and sides, a one-piece mahogany neck with a 25.5" scale length, C-profile, laurel fretboard, and the iconic "star" mother of pearl inlays that the model is so well known for. The compensated saddle, bridge pins, and nut are bone, and the headstock features the world-famous Gibson-style "open book" headstock shape, with the Epiphone logo and headstock star proudly displayed in mother of pearl. An Inspired by Gibson Custom Double Diamond emblem is etched on the rear of the headstock. Available in a variety of eye-catching colors and equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ VTC under-saddle pickup and preamp system, this exceptional guitar is stage and studio-ready from the moment you take it out of the included hardshell case.
A battery is not included. To power your pickup, you will need a 9-volt battery.
