6-string Acoustic-electric with Spruce Top, Mahogany Back and Sides, Mahogany Neck, and Indian Laurel Fingerboard – Frost Blue

Epiphone and Gibson Custom Shop Team for the J-180 LS

Singer/songwriters around are rejoicing as Epiphone and Gibson Custom Shop have teamed to create the J-180 LS. This Epiphone jumbo body style acoustic-electric guitar boasts premium Gibson Custom Shop appointments that you’ll only find in the Inspired by Gibson series. The J-180 LS’s thermally-aged Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides are an excellent blend of tonewoods that covers a wide tonal spectrum. Enjoy incredible playability and response on its mahogany neck, Indian laurel fingerboard, and era-accurate dovetail neck joint. The Gibson-style open-book headstock is an aesthetically pleasing touch to this already beautiful-sounding acoustic guitar. And once you are ready to plug in and show out in front of a crowd, you’ll be delighted with the LR Baggs electronics that deliver authentic acoustic sounds.

Quality components

After strumming the J-180 LS, you’ll notice the thermally aged spruce top and mahogany back and sides deliver crispy, clear high ends while retaining the low-end that the jumbo body shape is known for. Meanwhile, increased sustain and warmth in your acoustic tone come via the mahogany neck and Indian laurel fingerboard. And how could we forget the vintage crown inlay on the Gibson-style open-book headstock, mother-of-pearl star inlays on the fingerboard, and classic Epiphone Deluxe tuners featuring Keystone buttons? These appointments further enhance the allure of this remarkable acoustic-electric guitar.

Studio-quality acoustic tones with LR Baggs VTC preamp

Whether you are plugged in for a live show or going the DI route for recording, a preamp can make or break a performance. With the top-shelf LR Baggs VTC pickup, you get a discrete setup that captures the natural sound of the acoustics and harmonics bouncing around the chamber of the body. Get studio-quality sound on the fly with the VTC’s preamp that adds warmth and slight compression to your acoustic tone. These electronics make a potent pair that will sound great at any gig or recording situation.

Beautiful resonance and clarity with the jumbo body

The jumbo body shape is arguably one of acoustic guitars’ most instantly recognizable and iconic body types. With its well-rounded low-end and midrange mixed with its articulate high-end, the J-180 LS’s jumbo body shape is one of the better options for musicians looking for a full sound. And don’t fear — this body shape is one of the loudest around, so you can play to a small crowd without the fear of people missing out. Learn why legends like Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Noel Gallagher, and more gravitate toward the jumbo body shape.
