Epiphone AJ-220SCE Solid Sitka Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Epiphone AJ-220SCE Solid Top Acoustic features the classic 'Advanced Jumbo' style body with an elegant cutaway and a Solid Top of Solid Sitka Spruce Top.

Legendary "Advanced Jumbo" Sound

Since 1936, the "Advance Jumbo" (AJ) acoustic guitar has been a favorite of songwriters and acoustic bands for its fantastic projection and complex tone. With vintage models priced out of reach for the average player, Epiphone offers the AJ-220SCE Solid Top featuring a Solid Sitka Spruce Top with elegant cutaway in Ebony, Natural or Vintage Sunburst finish and a Solid Mahogany top in new Mahogany Burst finish. Rich tonewoods like Solid Sitka and Mahogany will "bloom" and become more resonant with age and playing time. The AJ-220SCE is meant to be played a lot!

The AJ-220SCE body is made from Select Mahogany and comes with a Solid Mahogany neck with a smooth satin finish and a SlimTaper C-profile. The neck is glued to the body with TiteBond glue and a traditional dovetail joint. The 25.5" scale neck has a Granadillo fingerboard with a 12" radius, 20 medium jumbo frets, and a 2-way adjustable truss rod. The body has 6-layer binding on the top and single layer white binding on the fingerboard along with a tortoise-colored pickguard with traditional metal "E" to protect the top against pick marks. The reverse belly bridge, also traditional to the AJ body style, is made from Granadillo and has a compensated saddle.
