  1. I do agree that the guitar is nice (I own one) but those videos are so unneccessary because they're obviously going to say nothing but good things about it if they get invited by the company that makes them lol

  2. Its no coincidence that the design looks "classic" lol, the AJ turned into the J45/Texan with its rounded shoulders. A departure from the typical dreadnought shape with square shoulders created by Martin in the 30s. It looks like a very nice guitar, especially for only $200.

  3. Boy these new crop of singer songwriters all sound the same affected way…oh and the guitar is a low end junker. But I am shocked at Ray Benson….he knows better……..duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  5. found out this is the model my sister(which is the guitar i play on now) has. my dad couldnt have paid more than 130-150 for it and it is pretty good (they're not lying about that neck finish) so, good find.

  6. The wife decided to get me a guitar for our 25th wedding anniversary. We went down to GC to try out acoustics, and I played virtually every one. For sound quality, we both tagged this as one of the best before looking at prices. After looking at the tags, this is the one I wanted. Excellent tone, easy to play. This is a good guitar, not just a good $200 guitar.

  7. I have been using one for a few years, it is the sunburst cutaway made in China, I marvel at how nice it looks, bookmatched wood, and white binding. It is not as loud as a high end guitar, stays in tune all the time, but sounds sweet.
    I was on my bike and saw the broken neck of a guitar sticking out of a garbage can, pulled it out and looked for the head, to no avail (along with the electrics ). It looked brand new. Apparently the person who had it didn't know he could have just glued and clamped the head back on. I dressed up the break, made a head out of maple, glued and reinforced it with an aluminum plate and blended it in with wood epoxy, the transition looks in-noticeable. y musician son got some turners that automatically cut the strings when stringing up (they are great). I think I lowered the bridge action some.
    I do not like the dark sunburst deal, it heats up severely when playing outside in the sun, so think about that when considering a dark colored instrument.

  8. This really is one the best low priced guitars you will find.  I just got an Indonesian natural model, used, but in new condition.  $109 bucks!  I shaved a hair off the saddle, oiled the neck, put on 11-52 bronze strings, and I am floored!!!  Sound is very good and it plays fantastic.  The satin neck is a huge selling point.  I have bone parts for the nut, saddle, and pins, but not sure if I should bother.  I may refinish in a light satin (I am not a fan of gloss).  I bought this to do an EJ/John Lennon thing, but I do not know if I can bring myself to drill the drop for a volume and tone nob.  Really fun to play!  Now I just have to find a case!

  9. Very quiet guitar.
    I love Epiphone guitars, I have a Casino and it is my absolute all time favorite guitars.
    This is a cheap guitar, quiet, but sounds pretty good. For the money it's great.

  12. Such a crappy video epiphone. The aj220 isn't a beginners guitar, it's a low price point mid level guitar. This video is aimed at the complete novice.

  14. Got one that was made in Indonesia for $150 new, I've got to say it sounds amazing. I have a Yamaha FG720s that I've had for about 8 years and was my first guitar, I feel scared carrying something so sentimental around and the AJ-220S is cheap enough that I wouldn;t really mind if anything happened to it. Above all, id does not sound or feel like its price.
