Select Spruce Top
The J-15 EC Deluxe has a Select Spruce top with 5-ply black and white binding and a graceful cutaway for easy access to the upper frets. Spruce is classic tone wood for powerful acoustic guitars and will mellow with age and playing time to reveal a distinctive character. The more you play the J-15 EC Deluxe, the better it will sound. The body and neck are made from Select Mahogany. The SlimTaper neck has an easy-to-play ‘D’ profile and is glued to the body with a classic dovetail joint. The neck features 20 medium frets, a standard 25.5 inch scale, and a Poplar Composite fingerboard with pearloid ‘Dot’ inlays.
The J-15 EC Deluxe has a ‘reverse belly’ Rosewood bridge and an Epiphone styled imitation tortoise pickguard with a metal ‘E’ logo as seen on vintage Epiphone acoustics like the Texan and Caballero.
