You'll Be Heard with this Strong-voiced Acoustic

Your music is sure to be heard when you play it on the Epiphone AJ-220S acoustic guitar! This member of Epiphone's Advanced Jumbo family of guitars has a larger lower bout and a smaller rounded upper bout, creating a unique voice that's bold and beautiful. You'll love the lively response to the nuances of your playing, courtesy of the solid Sitka spruce top, providing definition and a detailed sound. And the tone of the AJ-220S also has exceptional depth and body, thanks to the mahogany back and sides as well as the generous body size. Whether you play by yourself or in an acoustic ensemble, you'll set a powerful foundation for your music with the Epiphone AJ-220S acoustic guitar.

Epiphone AJ-220S Acoustic Guitar at a Glance:
  • Solid Sitka spruce top for sweet tone that will keep improving
  • Full-bodied voice
  • Great value in an affordable acoustic guitar

Solid Sitka spruce top for sweet tone that will keep improving
Sweetwater knows that the choice of top wood can make or break the sound of an acoustic guitar. For the AJ-220S, Epiphone chose a solid Sitka spruce top. Chosen as much for its look as its tone, solid spruce has a vibrant, lively sound with excellent projection. It also enhances note definition, for a clear and articulate sound. And because it's a solid-wood top, the tone will mature gracefully, with enhanced harmonics and greater tonal balance as the years go by.

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 has excellent projection. 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 its easy-playing SlimTaper neck that most beginners find more comfortable than larger, bulkier necks. But no matter how long you've been playing for, the full, robust tone and exceptional playability of the AJ-220S will be immediately apparent. And thanks to the solid Sitka spruce top, not commonly found on guitars at this price, the tone will only improve as you play it over the years.

Epiphone AJ-220S Acoustic Guitar Features:
  • Value-packed acoustic guitar with real solid Sitka spruce top
  • Color: Natural
  • Solid tonewoods mature with age, enhancing tone and balance
  • SlimTaper neck is regarded as one of the most popular and comfortable neck shapes
  • Mahogany neck is glued-in with a dovetail joint, an extremely strong way to connect the neck to the body while enhancing tone and sustain
  • Premium nickel hardware looks great

UNREAL FOR $199!

by Jacob from Ponte Vedra FL
April 6, 2013
Music Background: Many Genres, many bands. Ive settled down to playing lead guitar in my Praise and Worship band.
I've been playing for 16 years and have owned every guitar under the sun. I had an old beater acoustic for "around the house" playing, that was on its last leg. I read a few reviews on this one, and p... read more [+]ulled the trigger. I got a price match and got it for $180 out the door from Sweetwater. It was at my doorstep 2 DAYS later!. Opened the box and all I can say is WOW! The volume on this baby rocks, and it is so crisp and clean. I keep telling my wife "this thing sounds as good as my Taylor". Unreal deal for the $199, and you may be able to get it for less. This was my first purchase from Sweetwater, and it will not be my last. close [-]

I've played drums for 15 years and recently took an interest in guitar. I wanted to buy a decent acoustic guitar and shopped around for about a week.

I don't know a lot about guitars but I do know good quality and this guitar is just that. For $200 you can't beat it. View some of the videos on youtube and you will see and hear how impressive it is. If you're like me and on a budget but, still want a quality acoustic, I don't believe you can go wrong with this one. close [-]
