AJ-10

Everyone seems to agree that the Advanced Jumbos (AJs) from Epiphone sound different because they ARE different. These acoustics not only look more like a bell, but also ring more like a bell. The more rounded upper bout produces sweeter highs while the broader waist and wider lower bout creates more powerful lows with none of the muddiness found in ordinary dreadnoughts. The new affordable AJ-10 now bring the look and sound of the AJ to everyone with features such as a select spruce top, mahogany back and sides and a rosewood fingerboard and bridge. See and hear for yourself the difference is as clear as a bell.
