Description
Epiphone's J-15 EC Deluxe acoustic-electric outfit is a superbly built, professional-level dreadnought guitar with a select spruce top and classic cutaway design paired with Fishman undersaddle pickup system. Dreadnought acoustic guitars like the J-15 EC Deluxe are renowned for their commanding volume and full tone, making them an ideal choice for singer-songwriter types looking for a versatile instrument and frontmen/women wanting to stand out in the mix.

Includes hardshell case.

Top Wood
The J-15 EC Deluxe's select spruce top is complemented by 5-ply black-and-white binding and has a graceful cutaway for easy access to the upper frets. Spruce is a popular tonewood for tops as it gives acoustic guitars plenty of projection while mellowing with age and playing time, maturing with you, to reveal its distinctive character. In other words, the more you play your J-15 EC Deluxe, the better it will sound.

Other Features
The body and neck are made from select mahogany, adding tonal warmth and coloration to the power the spruce top provides. The J-15 EC Deluxe's SlimTaper neck is glued to the body with a classic dovetail joint and has a "D" profile, which, along with the cutaway, make it easy to get up and down the fingerboard with ease. The neck features 20 medium frets and standard 25.5" scale, and its rosewood fingerboard is adorned with pearloid “dot” inlays.

Other appointments include a “reverse belly” rosewood bridge and Epiphone-styled, imitation tortoise pickguard with a metal "E" logo as seen on popular, vintage Epiphone acoustics, like the Texan and Caballero. Choose between Natural and Vintage Sunburst color finishes.

Electronics
Whether you're getting ready to record in the studio or about to show off your musical creations on stage, the J-15 EC Deluxe is equipped to handle all your needs thanks to its Fishman Sonitone undersaddle piezo pickup paired with a Fishman Sonicore preamp that offers discrete soundhole control for volume and tone.

Hardware
The J-15 EC Deluxe is equipped with Epiphone’s premium die-cast machine heads with classic-styled kidney buttons and a 14:1 tuning ratio, giving you fast, more accurate tuning. Strap buttons are pre-installed and the guitar is set up at the factory with legendary D'Addario Phosphor (12-53) strings.

Lifetime Warranty
Like all Epiphone guitars, the J-15 EC Deluxe comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, plus Gibson 24/7/365 customer service.

    Appears to be a finely crafted guitar and a very good value, especially with the included hardwood case. The only discrepancy I noticed is that I expected to get a rosewood fretboard and bridge. But it appears they used pau ferro wood instead of rosewood for each of these. It won't likely make a difference sound-wise, but I really would have liked getting the darker appearance of rosewood, as is described in the photos and product description. I also waited quite a long time (8-9 months) before the product was actually shipped.

  • I highly recommend this guitar!!

    I've been playing guitar for more than 50 years and this is by far the best sound that I've ever found in a acoustic electric guitar.

    The description mentions the guitar top is select spruce and that it will sound better the more you play it. Is it laminated wood and still improved in time?

    Open Reply - Thomas
    Yes and yes.

    What is the difference between the aj 220 sce and the aj 210 outfit and are the aj220s being phased out?

    Open Reply -
    These two models are very similar. The only difference is the AJ210 has a Select Spruce top and the AJ220 has a Solid spruce top. They are not being phased out.
