EpiphoneJ-15 EC Acoustic Electric Guitar, Natural

This is a great guitar for those on a tight budget. I was tired of using effects to give my electric guitars an acoustic sound when recording. I have a 12 string acoustic but I needed a good six string. This Epiphone did the trick....at a very affordable cost. I did change the strings to a custom light set (for ease of playing) although the standard strings sounded great. A VERY well built guitar for the price and it sounds and plays great. If you're in the market for an inexpensive acoustic, don't hesitate a minute about buying this one.

I like many of the other reviews was very pleased with the quality and action of this guitar for the low price. Plays like a dream!!

A good beginner guitar to play, fairly good construction of materials and for it`s large jumbo size, TONALITY-WISE, fair.

The guitar was well packaged & arrived via UPS intact. Overall the guitar is surprisingly nice for the price. The wood grain is beautiful, the finish is perfect, great tuners, ebony bridge, but plastic saddle. Not a blemish anywhere.After tuning, it sounds good for it's price. A beautiful beginner guitar(sounds better after changing the cheap strings-Elixir Poly's). Unlike the HSN/QVC guitars that are mostly crap & people give up on, the AJ-100 will keep a beginner playing and wanting to learn.It does NOT have the NanoMag(and Stereo) as stated in the description, it only has the NanoFlex. The piezo is wired directly to the input jack. Plugged into my amp, it sounded mediocre at best.For it to play very well, you'll either have to pay a luthier to setup or do it yourself. String height at the 12th fret was very high at at 8/64ths. After several days of truss rod adjustment and sanding the saddle(Search YouTube for acoustic setup), I had to take a tad over 1/8" off the saddle, it played suitable and sounded good.Since everything turned out well, I tossed the NanoFlex Piezo and bought the Martin t4 EQ(Amazon sells several types). The Martin piezo is thinner so I had to shim the saddle. The Martin electronics really bring the sound to life when plugged into my amp. I'm amazed a cheap guitar with some work and good electronics($23) now plays and sounds quite good.If you're a beginner looking for a cheap guitar to start learning, I would recommend the AJ but as any mail order guitar, it will need setup work. The reason I gave it 4 stars is that I believe Epiphone should send their guitars out set to their recommended settings(string height) and at least enough tension on the truss rod to keep the neck from arching to much when tuned to standard tuning. Guitar stores & luthiers are disappearing and it's not appealing to pay $150 for a guitar & $100 to a luthier to set it up.

For the money this guitar has a beautiful sound! I play many brands, such as Martin. Gibson, Fender, Elly, Epiphone, Taylor, Takamine, and many others and this guitar has a sound that plays with them all. As far a bang for the buck this is my top guy. I have had mine for 3 years now, and have never put it in a case. Bought it for a throw around campfire guitar and fell in love with its light action and smooth fret board and durable build.

great value.but only came with guitar.could have gone with a different company and gotten more.......needed a case and strap

Very appealing guitar with great intonation. Would recommend for a beginner or even an experienced musician. Great rehearsal or song writing guitar.

Nice guitar. Played right out of the box and it sounds awesome.
