2020 Epiphone J-45 "Inspired by Gibson" Slope Dreadnought Guitar
This is a nicely-made copycat J-45 from Epiphone. It's got the shape, the size, and the handling down and sounds more or less close to a mid-late '50s J-45 in sound, though it's more glassy, fresh, and "new" in tone, of course. It also looks the part, too.
The setup was almost bang-on when it arrived here for consignment, so it just needed minor tweaking to bring it in-spec.
Repairs included: a quick setup.

Condition notes: this is lightly-used and does have a few little minor scratches here and there from playwear but the only noticeable flaw is a longer scuff on the back that's not discolored and doesn't even show in the pics but just shows as a slightly different clearcoat where it's been scuffed... almost like an eraser got dragged along the back. Like I said... you can't even see it unless you're looking for it in changing lighting.
It comes with: its original semi-rigid gigbag.
