The Epiphone J-200 EC Studio BK is a jumbo acoustic guitar with a stereo pick-up system. Based on a classic guitar design by Gibson, first introduced in 1937 - The Superjumbo SJ-200 - the Epiphone J-200 EC Studio BK range offers the sound and playability of these gargantuan guitars at a fraction of the price. Due to the large jumbo body, the J-200 EC Studio BK produces the typical warm and voluminous sound which has already helped the original to achieve world fame.
Equipped with a Maple body and a solid Spruce top, this instrument can produce extremely full basses, warm mids and a balanced overtone spectrum. In contrast to the original, the J-200 EC Studio BK is already equipped with the eSonic pick-up and therefore suitable for stage use, even including a built-in tuner. If that isn’t enough to tickle your fancy, this Super Jumbo is a real feast for the eyes with Mother of Pearl Crown inlays on the fingerboard and a floral pickguard.
The main features of the Epiphone J-200 EC Studio BK include:
If compared to Gibson S200, Very similar all round, yes there is a difference, but @ 10th of the price..!! I personally own 3 Epiphones.. I personally can't see by them, I'm only an enthusiast, quality / value for money.... I would recommend this guitar / if you have enough area, Enjoy.
Great sound quality and build. Very impressed by this guitar. It was a gift to my son.
Musicstore.com service was really good and shipping the guitar to Ireland was extremely fast.
