The guitar is easy to play up and down the neck, although like on most acoustic guitars it is a bit difficult to play way up on the top frets. Playing the Epiphone John Lennon EJ-160E is an easy task, as the neck has a good feeling on the fingers and I generally feel good when I have it in my hands. I don't know what types of woods the guitar is made from, but through and through the guitar feels like it has been made well. The guitar has a built in pick up, with tone and volume control knobs on the outside of the guitar. I believe that this guitar has both been made in China and Korea, but the one that I have played and recorded with was made in Korea. The Epiphone John Lennon EJ-160E is an acoustic/electric guitar and is Epiphone's cheaper version of the Gibson J160E. Recommended to anyone that plays acoustic and wants to experiment with different electronics, or any big Beatles fan! But this Epiphone is a good instrument capable of producing fresh, interesting tones. I'd like to play the Gibson equivalent and compare the timbre. I like that John Lennon played something very similar to this - that helps on the cool factor. This is a really neat idea from Epiphone. Clarity is great, and the guitar has a balanced tone across the frequency spectrum. Acoustically, the tone is very dreadnought-like - it fits finger picking, but is better on strumming and flat-picking. It was especially interesting to hear a big acoustic guitar tone coming from the instrument in my hands, but play around with a lot of effects on the amped signal. The tone was akin to a pure hollowbody, only bigger. The tones I got out of this were incredible! I never heard a regular single coil pickup in the neck position of an acoustic guitar, but it is a very interesting sound, and I wish more manufacturers would do something like this. The finish looks very nice and well applied, and the guitar has a good balance. The one I played had some little marks on the end of the fretboard that look like tooling marks. This guitar is really interesting! It plays very well, and the build quality on it is pretty good. It has an ebony bridge and plastic pickguard, and Epiphone brand tuners. It comes only in vintage cherry sunburst finish. It has a single-coil pickup at the neck, not a piezo, and volume and tone controls.

It has a spruce top, and mahogany back and sides. This Epiphone EJ 160E is a China manufactured acoustic electric guitar.
