Epiphone AJ-220SCE Electro-Acoustic Guitar

Delivery: ordered on 2nd of may and received 3rd of may so very happy with that. The guitar is (after only playing for a few hours) well worth the money. I bought this guitar to jam in the house with to save my more expensive guitar for gigging and to save it from getting knocked/damaged. That being said this epiphone sounds great for being so cheap! The strings that were on it arent great quality but thats an easy fix and no big issue. The overall tone of the guitar is great, nice crisp clear trebbles, a good warm bass tone and a perfect mid range. The action is ok straight out of the box though i might lower it slightly. Very happy with my purchase. Not plugged it into an amp yet but the on-board tuner is very accurate and works fine, a good thing for any beginner or gigging musician to have. Only down side if i was being picky is that the E logo on the scratch plate looks a bit tacky and came off very easily other than that its a great guitar for a beginner or for someone like me wants a decent but cheap guitar for jamming with and im sure it would perform great on a stage too. Hope this review is helpful to others and if so, i hope you enjoy this guitar :).

The plusses here greatly outweigh the singular minus. I was looking for an instrument with a light albeit punchy sound for rhythm playing. This fits that bill very well indeed. It is a nice instrument to play, not heavy but not so light it feel delicate either as for example compared to a classical guitar. Very nice fast playing action replete with tuner and good volume and tone controls it sounds even better through an amplifier and as a solo instrument produces some very pleasing tones. Now for my only criticism which can apply to many similar instruments, The strap button is also the jack plug socket and the damn thing unscrews itself. Being a dreadnaught the base is a long way from the sound hole and I can't get my hand inside far enough to rectify this myself and hence will shortly be returning to the company from which it was delivered to have this fault rectified. I have been in contact and there is no problem here. This is a common design fault among many makes of instrument unfortunately, I would prefer the jack socket to be on lower part of the body side as is the case on two other of my guitars but it was the sound that bought this guitar for me and this fault, which is not guaranteed to occur of course, is easily rectified in the shop. As this is a common problem with the button/ jack socket combination applicable to many instruments, it can be discarded as a negative aimed at this instrument. I do thoroughly recommend this guitar.

This is a fantastic guitar for the money. It's loud and clear with a nice set up from the box and a reasonably low action - so, still good for a learner like me. The built in tuner is very good, and the pick up does a great job. I tried a Gibson AJ and to my novice ears I couldn't tell the difference. This guitar will last too as it's very well made. Nice and clean edges, the frets are cut perfectly. Thankfully, the metal E on the pickguard came straight off - I never liked those on Epiphone guitars. This will definitely last, and I can't see me ever wanting another guitar.

Not happy with this guitar as after 1 month of mild use the guitar input jack socket has come loose and now when I plug it into the amp, it doesn't work. Would like this to be fixed or if the seller can replace this faulty guitar. Otherwise rest is fine.

It sounds nice and is easy to play. Stays in tune pretty well and the built in tuner is simple to use and understand. Definitely a good guitar for beginners Pulling the amp lead of out of the hole is hard and almost feels like it’ll break or crack. Also putting a strap around it is extremely difficult. The E fell off after I took it out of the box and the pickups inside were hanging down but that’s an easy fix when changing strings.

I bought a black one in a warehouse deal, and aside from the fact that the Epiphone stick on logo fell off almost immediately its been a great buy. It has a built in tuner, and treble and bass controls as well as a phasing effect (all only useable when played through an amp). Someone I know paid more than double the price of this instrument and didn't get a built in tuner. At the moment I'm mainly playing it acoustically, and trying to teach myself blues guitar. Its sound is very good for. Sure you could spend a lot more money (you can literally spend thousands) and without doubt get a better class of instrument, but for an amateur player this is a fine instrument.

Very disappointing on arrival if I am honest. Nice guitar for the money, however it took me a long time to shave down the bridge saddle mounting little by little to get a decent playing height. (string action) And I had to file down the nut end too! Maybe I am just too picky?..lol But serious guitar players would probably avoid it?

I can safely say i have nothing but positivity here. I ordered this to Portugal in a fairly back-o-beyond little village as a cheap guitar for the rest of my time in the country. It showed up before the earliest estimate merely 2 days after ordering so I'm seriously impressed there. Onto the guitar. It showed up very securely packaged and after a quick tune up it an absolute beauty. The sound is wonderful and the set up suits me just fine, i normally play with a slightly lower action but I'm always up for something different. I've even been able to bust out my slide on it as it's a good mid range and the rasp is just a banger. Dust my broom has only ever sounded better on my res. I will most definitely consider this seller again and i look forward to playing this bad mamma jamma far longer than just my holiday. Cheers guys your brilliant!

Produto perfeito. Prazo da entrega menor do que o esperado. Top!!!

ヘッドが大きい（長い）ので今まで使っていたギターケース（ハード）では出し入れする度にヘッドが擦れてしまいます。専用ケースを買えば済むことですが・・・。他は満足です。結婚披露宴の余興で使おうとして購入した、はじめてのエレアコですが、普段はアコで使ってます。もう少し乾いた音が出ると良いのですが・・・。値段的には大満足の１台です。

Ich habe diese Gitarre als Weihnachtsgeschenk für meine Freundin gekauft und damit voll ins Schwarze getroffen. Die Gitarre kam nach nur einem Tag Lieferzeit bei mir an. Der eigentliche Gitarrenkarton war noch einmal zusätzlich durch eine Umverpackung und Luftpolsterfolie geschützt. Vorbildlich! Beim Auspacken der Gitarre fällt sofort die gute Verabeitung auf. Der Lack ist perfekt aufgetragen und zeigt eine tolle Oberflächenqualität. Es fühlt sich alles sehr hochwertig und "glatt" an. Auch das Farbspielt mit den beiden ineinander verlaufenden Farben wirkt sehr harmonisch. Die Gitarre liegt gut in der Hand und ist vor allem schön leicht. Somit wird auch längeres spielen nicht zur Qual. Im Lieferumfang befanden sich neben einer Anleitung noch ein Schlüssel zum Einstellen der Saitenhöhe falls diese einmal anfagen sollten zu "schnarren". Die Gitarre musste natürlich erst einmal gestimmt werden. Das tolle bei der Epiphone ist das in die Gitarre integrierte Stimmgerät. Dieses erkennt beim anschlagen der Saite den Ton und zeigt direkt an ob er zu niedrig oder zu hoch ist. Das Stimmen wird somit zum Kinderspiel und es ist nicht mehr nötig ein extra Stimmgerät dabeizuhaben. Nach dem Stimmen folgten die ersten Lieder auf der Gitarre. Der Klang ist wirklich toll. DIe einzelnen Töne sind klar und unverzerrt und die Lautstärke genau richtig. Bei Youtube gibt es einige Videos von Leuten mit dieser Gitarre. Dort kann mich sich einen guten Eindruck von der tollen Klangqualität der Gitarre machen. Meine Freundin war auf jeden Fall sehr begeistert und hat ihre alte Yamaha Gitarre bereits aussortiert. Für diesen Preis gibt es meiner Meinung nichts besseres.

It's a beauty!! Looks great and sounds even better

Ho acquistato questa chitarra ad "occhi chiusi" dopo aver letto decine di recensioni e sicuro del fatto che, se non mi fosse piaciuta, l'avrei rimandata indietro a costo 0. Bene, me ne sono innamorato. Avevo smesso di suonare da ormai diverso tempo, ma adesso, grazie alla epiphone in questione, ho ripreso alla grande. Materiali: Top in legno (spruce) massello, fasce e fondo in mogano, manico in legno di rosa. Non so ben dirvi di che materiale sia il ponte. Qualità costruttiva: Ottima. Tutta la chitarra si presenta bene ed è ben rifinita. E' costruita in Indonesia. Unica pecca, la "E" sul battipenna non era ben incollata, probabilmente la colla utilizzata non ha fatto il suo dovere. Ho letto di altri che hanno riscontrato lo stesso problema; Tuttavia per 200€ e per uno strumento fantastico come questo, potete chiudere un occhio e metterci un pò di attack! :) Suonabilità: Perfetta. La chitarra è arrivata già con "assetto da corsa". Manico scorrevolissimo. Suono: Per me fantastico. Non è caldissima sui bassi con corde 0.12 ma probabilmente salendo un pò potete ovviare al problema. Impressioni: Ne sono rimasto estasiato dal primo secondo. In ogni caso, ho portato la chitarra ad un amico che ha nel suo "arsenale" diverse Martin e Takamine da svariate migliaia di euro. Il suo responso: "Tra questa e diverse chitarre da 1000€ che possiedo o ho provato, non c'è nessuna differenza. Ne compro una e ne consiglio una a...". Nota personale: Se state cercando uno strumento bello e buono a poco prezzo, l'avete trovato. Io prenderei questa chitarra ancora e ancora dovessi tornare indietro. Tuttavia, fate attenzione. Ogni chitarra, anche del medesimo modello, differisce dalle sue simili. Ciò implica che due chitarre uguali potrebbero suonare in modo diverso. PS: Il legno che compone il top più invecchia, più migliora. Tra tanti anni questa chitarra suonerà anche meglio.
