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 artist. In collabotation with Gibson Custom Shop, 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 lenght, 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 Shop 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.
