Review: Wonderful & Worth Your Money - Initially I thought this guitar was somewhat quiet until I played it a second time. It has a rich, warm sound that doesn't have that jingly-bag-of-coins sound every time you hit a D chord (aka high strings area). The neck has quick action & feels similar to an Electric Guitar. Is nice to be able to add effects now to a real acoustic and amplify my sound, which you can easily notice even 5 feet from your amp. The nicest feature I enjoy of this guitar is the tuner. It's as easy as turning on, checking whether your string is too high or low, then pushing the button again to turn it off. The battery will last forever also b/c that's the only time it's used. The 3 different tone settings don't use battery power & can help you with any feedback from your amp, while modifying your tone. My biggest relief is that this guitar still has a decently loud sound despite it's cut-out near the neck & that the high string action doesn't sound changy. A non-electric version of this guitar (EJ-200) has no cut out and plays louder, but this one still compares since the sound is only slightly lower and you get a tuner/tone controls & can plug it into an amp. Pay attention to the bridge too. If you're looking for that EJ-200 and see that the bridge doesn't have the mustache design, it's not the same or as good. This guitar's mustache bridge with faux-bone inlays & pop-out string pegs add to this guitar's authenticity to it's sister Gibson J-200 guitar. It's a pain in the wallet to knock out $400 for this, but I'll do it for the guitar I want that will be with me for life. It was also shipped securely and the guitar was tied down nicely. Save the Epiphone box if you don't have a jumbo case & rest assured that your guitar will get to you safely. Buy this guitar!
Review: King of the Budget Flat Tops - Bottom line: Do you want to spend 4 grand on a Gibson J-200? You wouldn't be shopping on desertcart if you did. This is the next best thing for 1/10th the price - you will not find anything comparable at 400 dollar price point. Build quality is very high (crown inlays, mustache bridge, Grover tuners), finish is beautiful, and feel is excellent. Comes set up from factory with D'addario phosphor bronze lights. Have heard mixed things about electronics, but I find they are very rich in sound and you can plug in stereo and bi-amp it like an old Rickenbacker bass with two 15 watt amps. Big enough sound for any coffee house. Don't think it needs the cutaway, but you can't get it any other way. When they say it's guaranteed, they mean it - first one I bought had a twisted neck; they replaced it with brand new one in a couple of weeks. Highly recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm confused, why does this guitar need a battery? Is this standard? Do all electric acoustics have battery in it.**
A: There are acoustic/electrics without a battery but they are not common today. But then you need a preamp before plugging in a regular guitar amp. And the extra wire from the piezoelectric pick and the preamp can pick up noise. Me, I much prefer the onboard preamp. Just be sure to unplug the guitar when you are done playing as the next day the battery will probably be dead.

**Q: what are the best replacement strings for this guitar!**
A: Gibson strings I think are the best.   D'addario are fine with it. I've tried another brand that was decent. But I'm a musician in Nashville I use this guitar live alot and Gibson strings are best which you can get also on Amazon.

**Q: How well is it packed for shipping?**
A: It’s well packed. It reached Abu Dhabi without any damage. It was in pristine condition.

**Q: Considering this guitar has two output jacks, can they both be plugged into one amp? If yes, recommend a good amp?**
A: I'm sure they can be, there may be a little bit of added feedback so you would definitely need a sound board to balance out the levels. But good amps to use would be the Fender Acoustisonic amp, the Fishman LoudBox Mini, and also the Marshall AS100D, just to name a few with a good variety of sounds and settings. They work well with any acoustic instruments and offer multiple different settings to balance out the sound you're looking for. But as always, ask a dealer and test drive amps, because the best choice for YOU is really a matter of preference. So, it's best to try out any product before you purchase them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great guitar, faulty electronics
*by V***N on October 1, 2017*

Got this beautiful guitar less than a month ago and played a couple of solo acoustic gigs. People were wowed by the way the sound of this guitar fills the space ( I played it through a Bose tower). Loved the feel of the fretboard. Though the body is a jumbo, it doesn't feel like a dreadnought. The guitar looks very attractive too and I had one person come over during a break just to admire the guitar. So now here's why I have given it 4 stars. The electronics were faulty on my guitar. The tuner switch didn't turn off automatically after I hit them to tune the guitar. The light stayed on till the batteries were drained out. This happened twice to me after which I decided to send it back. I also noticed a big hum building up during my second gig with the guitar - I moved my speaker away a bit and it went away but for the rest of the night I kept worrying if the hum was going to come back. There is a phase switch on the panel that's supposed to make it go away, haven't tried it to see if it works. The hum took me by surprise and I coudn't think straight right at that moment. I wonder if anyone else has had the kind of problems I have had with the electronics. The electronics panel requires coin batteries and it's a little awkward to slip them into the slot provided. The coins kept falling out of the holding clip. The guitars are made in Indonesia but I expect that the factory inspections will ensure that it all works properly before it's shipped out. Despite the hassle with the electronics, I like the guitar well enough that I have asked them to send me a replacement.
