Get the tone, feel, and playability of a true acoustic classic at a great price point with the Epiphone J-15 EC acoustic guitar. This beautiful advanced jumbo is cut after the Gibson J-45, an acoustic guitar that legions of players consider a legend with a truly unique sonic presentation. The J-15 features a select spruce top paired with a mahogany back and sides for a blend of punchy treble with a balanced midrange and robust low end. A mahogany neck with pau ferro fingerboard offers impeccable response up and down the deep cutaway neck. You will please both your own ears and those of your audience thanks to a NanoFlex pickup system that translates the acoustic tone of this beauty faithfully and fully.





Innovative pickup system





The NanoFlex pickup in the J-15 represents decades of painstaking design research into the intimate connection between electronics and the vibrational energy of an acoustic. This innovative system features a very thin, flexible sensor that contours around the bridge of the J-15 for an intimate connection that translates to incredibly authentic tone. This amazing system also utilizes active components in the pickup to ensure a low impedance signal to the preamp, cutting 60-cycle hum and other outside noise.





Neck designed for maximum response





The mahogany neck on the J-15 is cut to a 1960s SlimTaper, D-shape profile for an ultra-comfortable fit in the hand. In addition, the glued-in neck joint enhances the resonance and fullness of each note, each strum. The smooth playability of the pau ferro fingerboard and deep cutaway make this acoustic ideal for both flatpicking and fingerpicking, letting you access those high notes and interesting chord shapes up the neck. Sweetwater pickers and strummers across various styles are impressed with the response and feel of this amazing neck.
