Epiphone
Description
There's something magical about the big-bodied, all-maple jumbo "200" acoustic guitar. It's got a classic sound and classic look that has powered hits in rock, pop, and country for over 75 years. Now the Epiphone 2014 Limited Edition EJ-200 Artist offers you all that magic for less money.

The King of the Flat Tops, Reborn
The "200" jumbo style might be the world's most famous acoustic guitar, known equally for its majestic look and focused, complex sound. Since the late 1930s, many of the great rhythm guitarists and singers have made the "200" their primary acoustic instrument both on stage, on recordings, and even on record covers, including Don Everly, Bob Dylan, Robbie Robertson, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Presley, Gram Parsons, Buddy Holly, and Pete Townshend who used a "200" Jumbo to compose the songs for The Who's rock opera Tommy. The "200" Jumbo acoustic guitar is still a must-have for guitarists in every genre of music. And now the Ltd. Ed. "EJ-200 Artist" makes that classic sound affordable to everyone.

Based on Epiphone's legendary EJ-200, the Ltd. Ed. "EJ-200 Artist" features the same "Jumbo" body as the original with a select spruce top with hand-scalloped bracing for superior tone along with select maple back and sides which not only support the top but also help amplify its classic full-bodied tone.

The body has 6-layer black and white binding and the easy-to-play hard maple neck has a 25.5" scale length with medium frets with a 1960s SlimTaper profile that makes playing chords and rhythm easy. The hand-glued dovetail neck joint also contributes to the EJ-200 Artist's deep rich bass, clear mids, and brilliant highs that fill a room with jumbo-sized projection and volume. The solid rosewood fingerboard is fully bound and inlaid with pearloid dot inlays for a simple but elegant look. Its reverse belly rosewood bridge has a compensated saddle for solid intonation and tone. Choose from a variety of finishes from the drop-down menu.

Tuning is made easy, reliable, and intuitive with Epiphone's precision 18:1 ratio vintage style "Deluxe" tuners. The back of the headstock has a "Limited Edition" logo and the front of the headstock has a '60s era "Epiphone" logo.

Quality You Can Trust
Backed by Epiphone's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Gibson's famous 24/7/365 Customer Service, you can rest assured that your Ltd. Ed. "EJ-200 Artist" will have jumbo sound without any jumbo worries. But hurry, this is a Limited Edition model and won't last long.

Works great sounds great

I never had a jumbo before and didn't know how it would feel, when I play it. I found that it is the most perfect to play sitting down, because it rests against my knee perfectly! It also has more mid range and bass than my other guitars. The highest are fine too. :-)

Horrible quality control from Epiphone. Huge risk.

As with all current production Epiphone's consistency is a real problem. Played a great EJ200 in the showroom. Took a tuner and confirmed very good intonation on floor model (which had not had a setup). Took one new home in box and got it tuned up and it has horrible intonation problems. Unacceptable quality on a product with so much included documentation reminding you of "just how much Epiphone cares!" combines to make the entire Epiphone line very offensive to reason players who know what great the brand once was.... Do not buy an Epiphone on-line. 2-3 will be garbage.

    This is a great strummer. I like the guitar but I can't say I really love the guitar. It does have good volume but the low end is nothing like a Gibson. It is much better than any $200 dollar guitar that I've ever played. I threw on a set of 80/20 bronze 12's right after I got it because the stock strings suck. I play at an acoustic jam night and like the fact that I can hear myself now.

  • Loved it I will buy it gain

    The EJ-200 is a fun acoustic guitar to play or pick. The quality is very decent for the price. I like the balance of sound and projection.

    I replaced a 2008 that I let get away. This guitar seems just as good. It needed a little fret work to get rid of sharp edges.
