Poor sounding and quality guitar!

Product Review
I have had this guitar for two weeks. It is far below my expectations. The some strings rattle against the next fret up on the neck. The sound quality is dull and very poor. The electric pickup has no volume or tone. I have had eight guitars from Gibson, Fender, Kay, Alvarez, Urban, and some under $200. But of the eight, this Epiphone would fall number 2 on a scale of 1 to 8, with number 1 being the poorest sound and quality. On the positive side--it does look nice.

Ordered and received, quickly I might add, the Epiphone AJ100CE. Absolutely gorgeous guitar..... beautiful sound and playability. Well worth the money...Thank you AMS for another great buy.

Plugged in or unplugged this guitar sounds great. And is well made. Don't let the price turn you off. I've had guitars that cost more that didn't play as well.

Your general opinion of this product.
Purchased this guitar from scratch and dent listing - when it arrived I couldn't find any defects or damage to the guitar itself. There were a couple small scratches on the headstock, probably from the factory, someone was careless with stringing it.
It is an all laminate construction guitar, feels pretty solid. Action was high on both nut and the saddle, being a personal preference for my style of playing I shaved a bit of material from the bottom of the saddle and lowered nut slots using proper files. It plays like butter now. Plenty of saddle left if further adjustments are needed, I plan on swapping plastic with tusq or bone for both. Just not right now.
Under saddle pickup is thin sounding and trebly, with some proper EQ, bit of compression, chorus and a little reverb it sounds pretty decent.
Overall I felt I got a pretty good guitar for not a lot of money, primarily I will be using it plugged in (playing at home/open mic/gigging).
Feels well made. Too early to tell how dependable it will be, I keep it in a hardshell case and in climate controlled environment.
Neck is a C profile and feels pretty good, plan on using some 0000 fine steel wool to take some of the gloss off - make it faster neck.
Bright sounding, not a lot of bass or midrange acoustically - plugged in it can sound pretty good with proper EQ and a good amp.
Action was high at both nut and saddle - I have adjusted it and it plays smooth. Intonation is spot on.
Thick plasticky finish - to be expected in this price range. Not too crazy about it, overall decent looking, cannot find imperfections in it.
To be seen... A little online research has shown that headstocks are prone to snapping off if guitar falls out of the stand. Something to be careful with, but I do take care of my instruments.

good for the beginner

As i said, I'm only a beginner, I have yet to play live. But I have to say the quality is very high. I have an Epiphone LP Studio electric, I'm happy with, this guitar is better quality.
Only had it for about a month, so far it's good.
Your general opinion of this product.
I was kind of on the fence with this on. I saw the picture on the screen & noticed it was what i was looking for cosmeticaly in an acoustic/electric. I'm only a beginner, I was very suprised to see how easy it was for me to play this guitar.
It's nice & light. I'm still able to keep up with my kids with it strapped around my neck.
The tone is rich & smooth, I still haven't pluged it in yet, so I can't realy comment on the amplified sound.
Very good. Looks like a $500.00 job.
The action is better than some of the more expensive acoustics I've play around with.

Excellent Value

Your general opinion of this product.
QUALITY:
Flawless mirror finish, comfortable straight neck, no setup required.
FEATURES:
Has passive pickup, strap button jack, and no controls (use amp to adjust level & tone). Don't know why its called a jumbo - its actually dreadnought size and fits a standard case.
EASE OF USE:
Easy to play - requires less LH pressure than several of my more expensive guitars. Guitar is quite responsive allowing mix of chords and single notes.
VALUE:
Well worth the price. Great second or economical first guitar.
SOUND:
Medium bright tone, reasonably loud, good resonance and sustain unplugged. Sounds clean and natural through an acoustic amp.
