Finish: Natural

The Epiphone AJ-220SCE serves up crisp, clear mids and highs – a refreshing change if you’re used to a square-shouldered dreadnought. What’s up with that? Epiphone’s Advanced Jumbo body shape – first produced in the 1930s – has a big lower bout, and a smaller, rounded upper bout – with a narrow waist in between. This bell-shaped arrangement is what’s responsible for the unmistakable clarity that characterizes Epi’s Advanced Jumbo acoustics.
