In 1936, Gibson introduced the 'Advanced Jumbo' (AJ) acoustic guitar.With it's one-inch wider 16 inch lower bout, rounded or sloped shoulder dreadnought shape and a 25.5 inch scale length, the AJ was a powerful flat-top referred to in later Gibson literature as an 'acoustic cannon'.Today, this legendary design is carried over with the Epiphone AJ-220S acoustic guitar.

Balanced Tone that Rings Like a Bell
With it's bell-like shape featuring a larger lower bout and smaller, round upper bout, the AJ-220S has a very focused and balanced tone. The bass is deep, rich and loud while the highs have a crispness and brilliance that cuts through.Most noticeable however, is the clear mid-range that's never muddy like the typical square-shouldered dreadnought. The result is an acoustic guitar that's often been described as the perfect instrument for the soloist or singer/songwriter with a sound that blends with vocals.
Quality Materials and Construction
While the AJ shape plays a big role in it's signature sound, the AJ-220S benefits from the use of premium materials and traditional construction methods.The top is made of solid Sitka Spruce that not only sounds great right out of the box, but actually improves as it ages. Complementing this are back and sides made of select Mahogany fitted to a solid Mahogany neck. For great stability, tone and sustain, the neck is glued into the body using TiteBond™ glue and a traditional dovetail neck joint. Easy and comfortable to play, the neck shape or profile is Epiphone's classic 1960's SlimTaper™ D-shape with a smooth, fast satin finish. Upscale Features
Not typically found on instruments in this price range, Epiphone packs even more value into the AJ-220S.Included is a bound fingerboard for a clean look and smooth feel, premium sealed die-cast tuners with 14:1 gear ratio for tuning accuracy and stability, a solid 'reverse-belly' Rosewood bridge with compensated saddle for traditional looks and accurate intonation and a tortoise-colored pickguard with traditional metal 'E' to protect the top against pick marks.
