The Fishman Presys VT under-saddle pickup and preamp system make the guitar stage-ready. It delivers clear, natural amplified sound with excellent tonal accuracy.

The reverse belly laurel bridge, paired with a bone saddle, ensures superior string tension and sustain. The tortoise shell pickguard in J-45 shape enhances the guitar’s classic appearance. The dual-action truss rod offers precise neck adjustments, and the 24.724” scale length ensures comfortable playability. With a 1.692” nut width, this guitar fits comfortably in your hands.

The Epiphone IGMTJ455-AVS J-45 Aged Vintage Sunburst also includes optional hardshell or EpiLite™ cases for protection. A 9-volt battery is required to power the pickup system.
