The Epiphone AJ-220S puts amazing acoustic tone in your hands at a great price point. A member of Epiphone's Advanced Jumbo family, the AJ-220S features a larger lower bout and a smaller, rounded upper bout that produce a unique voicing that sits nicely in the mix with other instruments. Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top, the AJ-220S kicks out outstanding defined, detailed tone. The mahogany back and sides complement the spruce top, adding a slightly lower tone to the spruce's midrange. And a mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard offers stellar playability and comfort.
Full-bodied voice
Whether you play bluegrass, country, or rock, you need a guitar with a full voice that can hold its own in an ensemble. Thanks to the generous body size of the AJ-220S, combined with the choice tonewoods, its tone is full-ranging and its projection is excellent. For solo performances and recording, the sound is rich and solid from the lowest bass notes to the highest overtones. And if you play in an acoustic ensemble, the AJ-220S sets a solid foundation that the rest of the band won't overshadow.
Great value in an affordable acoustic guitar
The AJ-220S gives you premium tonewoods and Epiphone's top-notch construction at a price that's normally reserved for "beginner" guitars. And it's a great guitar to start with, thanks to an easy-playing SlimTaper neck that most beginners find more comfortable than larger, bulkier necks. But no matter how long you've been playing, the full, robust tone and exceptional playability of the AJ-220S will be immediately apparent. And thanks to its solid Sitka spruce top, not commonly found on guitars at this price, this guitar's tone will only improve as you play it over the years.
