By adding a bit of variety, Epiphone proves that not all guitar packages have to be the same with the Epiphone AJ220ST Solid Top Acoustic Guitar Package. Starting with the advanced jumbo solid top acoustic guitar and with innovative and useful features that include a built-in tuner and a wall-hanger to store and display your instrument, Epiphone gives you a pack that's not like all the rest.

Epiphone AJ220ST Solid Top Acoustic Guitar Package Includes:

  • AJ220ST Solid Top Acoustic Guitar
  • Metal Wall Hanger for Guitar (includes mounting hardware)
  • Comprehensive 3-hour Instructional DVD from MJS Publications
  • Shadow Sonic sound-hole tuner
  • Epiphone Guitar Strap
  • Three Epiphone Guitar Picks
  • Epiphone Limited Lifetime Warranty
With its bell-like shape featuring a larger lower bout and smaller, round upper bout, the AJ220ST acoustic guitar 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 AJ-220ST's 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 is Epiphone's classic 1960's SlimTaper D-profile with a smooth, fast satin finish.

Epiphone has installed the super-accurate Shadow Sonic sound-hole tuner. Lightweight and discretely mounted just inside the sound-hole, it's in perfect view while playing and allows you to tune-up without an interruption or plugging in. With the included wall-hanger, you can not only safely hang and display your beautiful guitar on the wall, but also put it away or take it down in no time.

Last but not least, the Epiphone AJ220ST Acoustic Guitar Package comes with a comprehensive, 3-hour DVD that walks you through the basics of guitar playing - from tuning your guitar to playing individual notes to playing chords. Hosted by expert guitar instructor Mark Sternal, this proven content with a "Quick-Start" section can get you playing guitar in 1 minute or less.

Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
This is one SOLID made guitar. Better than any other $199 acoustic guitar package out there. Actually, better than most $1000 guitars out there. Amazing.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Just got it, but take care of it, and the limited lifetime warranty will serve you well.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
I was expecting a "decent" guitar. I have been playing guitar for 40 years, and worked in the acoustic dept. at a huge guitar chain. This guitar is the best I've seen or played in years. Solid as hell, feels great. And the built in Shadow sound-hole tuner is awesome and extremely accurate. Great addition to an already killer guitar. And they put on a strap button on the neck heel! There's $35 extra you won't need to spend having installed!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Perfect action out of the box. I mean, PERFECT. I usually have to get a tweak or set-up done on a new guitar, but this one is ready to rock immediately.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
It's got a solid spruce top, so I expected an ok sound, but this one really projects. Strings are new, so a little bright, but give it a week of playing, and those strings will settle in nicely. Huge sound, actually
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
This finish is flawless. Not a drip of lacquer anywhere. And the satin finish on the neck is a pleasure to play.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Intonation, string height...everything just right. Not a buzz or dead spot anywhere on the neck.
