Epiphone

Description

The Epiphone J-200 EC Studio acoustic-electric guitar is inspired by Gibson's iconic SJ-200 "King of the Flattops." This innovative cutaway design opens up the upper frets for effortless playability while retaining the full, balanced tone of a jumbo maple body and solid spruce top. Now equipped with a Fishman Sonicore under-saddle pickup and Presys preamp, the J-200 EC Studio projects its signature sound for all to hear.

Cutaway Design Provides Comfort and Access

The stylish cutaway body of the J-200 EC Studio allows players to reach higher frets with ease for solos and complex chords. Despite its sleek appearance, the guitar retains the same solid spruce top and select maple back and sides of the original SJ-200 for a full, resonant tone. The 25.5" scale SlimTaper D-profile neck and pau ferro fretboard feel instantly familiar and playable.

Iconic Appointments Carry on a Legacy

With a tortoiseshell pickguard, mustache bridge and crown inlays, the J-200 EC Studio looks every bit like the acoustic legend. Gold die-cast tuners, hardware and Epiphone's signature sloped dove wing headstock complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Plug In and Play On

The Fishman Sonitone preamp and Sonicore under-saddle pickup transform the J-200 EC Studio into a gig-ready acoustic-electric. With simple controls for volume, EQ and tuner, players can easily adjust their tone to suit any venue.

A Timeless Instrument for Players of All Levels

Whether you're a seasoned guitarist or just learning, the Epiphone J-200 EC Studio is an acoustic that will only improve with age. Its balanced tone, comfortable feel and legendary style have endured for decades and found a place in music history. Now equipped for the stage, the J-200 EC Studio is an even more versatile instrument suited for players of all levels.

EJ200CE

I was so surprised and delighted when I first picked up my Epiphone EJ200CE. It has a great warm sound with clean hi's after I re-strung it with Elixir polyweb electric strings. (it is Acoustic/Electric)The tone controls came in to the rescue with my Marshal Amp. Anyone from beginers to seasoned advanced players will be quite amazed with the sound, price and quality of this guitar. Oh by the way, I never write reviews. This guitar made me do it!

My Follow Up Review

This is my second review on this guitar. I finally returned it to Guitar Center, and they were very nice about it, and gave me a full refund. So no problem there whatsoever. Within a couple days of receiving the guitar, I noticed that the pick guard was bubbling up and actually detaching from the face of the guitar. After having the guitar for around a month I started having feedback problems on the low b notes on the 6th and 5th strings. That was the final factor that made me decide to not purchase another one. It's too bad, as it is a beautiful instrument, easy to play, with good action. If you get a good one, you will probably love it. Once again, it's worth mentioning that Guitar Center was very good to deal with. I can't imagine purchasing a guitar from anyone else.

    I found this guitar great until about six months after I bought it. Then the a note on the g string went absolutely flat. I plan on replacing the strings but I am not sure this I going to help. I not my music teacher may be able to adjust the truss rod. If this does not help I did buy a warranty for two warranty.

    I own and have owned some very expensive guitars throughout the years and this one stacks right up with them. I have no idea how Epiphone restructured their production to make such quality instruments at such reasonable prices. This beauty plays like a dream, sounds amazing and comes with some great electronics. It's simply the best value in an acoustic offering available.

    You'd be hard pressed to find a better value than this guitar. It plays and sounds way above its price point. I have several very nice and expensive guitars and wanted one not to leave out and play. I was shocked when I picked this one up and had to have it. The sound and playability is simply outstanding. I'm not sure how Epiphone is producing such unbelievable quality at the price points they are offering. This is my go to home guitar. Get one! You won't regret it.

  • Great Guitar!!

    I have a 2024 model and I absolutely love it! Superb sound even through a non-acoustic amp. Beautiful inside and out. Battery lasts forever if you remember to remove the guitar cord from it when you're done playing. Fishman preamp is top of the line!

    I'm undecided between the epiphone EJ 200 or the epiphone dove. Is there a size difference ? Which tone is deeper ? I play strictly country music.

    Open Reply - Thomas
    There's is shape difference. The Dove has a wider lower bout. The Dove is deeper.
