The Epiphone EJ-160E acoustic electric guitar is one of the most coveted guitars of the modern age because of its association to the legend John Lennon. It is a full dreadnought guitar with Gibson style tuners and Gibson style volume and tone controls. The spruce and mahogany materials give the guitar a great look, and you can also find these materials on the model in our Yamaha FD01S review.

Above the sound hole is the humbucking stacked P-100 pickup for enhanced sound reproduction. The guitar produces a revolutionary electronic sound because of the ingenious sound pickup model and full size potentiometer in all controls.

The guitar comes in vintage natural or sunburst finishes that give a classic look and feel to the guitar. If you want a rich and bright tone instead, give our Yamaha F33 Guitar review a read. If you want to be revered by guitar enthusiast around you or motivate yourself with a professional piece of equipment then the Epiphone ej-160e acoustic electric guitar is it.

The acoustic sound is quite bright and lively for a dreadnought model. The setup is well done and the guitar comes tuned and with little to no tuning you will have a good pitch. The guitar opens up after using it for some time so keep playing your Epiphone for the perfect sound. If you’re a beginner that aspires to play this guitar further down the road in your career, you might want to start out with a model designed for beginners like the one in the Taylor 12E review.
