Epiphone J-200 Studio EC
The Epiphone J-200 Studio EC is part of the all-new Epiphone Studio Acoustic Collection. These guitars have been completely reimagined to offer the most authentic and affordable acoustic guitars inspired by iconic Gibson designs.
The J-200 Studio EC offers a blend of classic design and modern functionality and was designed to appeal equally to beginners and seasoned players alike. The Epiphone J-200 Studio EC acoustic guitar is a distinguished model, celebrated for its Super Jumbo body and remarkable sound projection. Inspired by the legendary Gibson SJ-200, "The King of the Flat-Tops," this guitar boasts a cutaway for improved access to the upper frets.
The J-200 Studio EC has a layered maple body with four-ply binding on the top, single-ply binding on the back, fretboard, and headstock, and a solid spruce top for a responsive, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that will sound even better with the passage of time.
The mahogany neck is joined to the body with a glued-in tapered dovetail neck-to-body joint and has a 1960s SlimTaper D profile that makes it comfortable to play. The neck is capped with a rosewood fretboard equipped with 20 standard frets and adorned with pearloid graduated crown inlays.
The strings are routed over a compensated plastic saddle and anchored to the Moustache rosewood bridge with ivory with black dot bridge pins. The bridge is decorated with four pearloid inlays.
Other vintage-style visual features include:
- Iconic J-200 style tortoise shell-colored pickguard with classic two-color J-200 graphics
- Epiphone Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons
- Bound 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock with Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown inlaid in mother of pearl
The J-200 Studio EC comes with Fishman electronics:
- S-Core under-saddle pickup
- Fishman Presys II preamp with side-mounted volume, bass, treble, and phase controls
- Built-in electronic tuner
The guitar has a gloss finish and is offered in two vintage-inspired colors—Natural and Vintage Sunburst. Both right-handed and left-handed versions are available. A standard gig bag is also included.
A battery is not included. To power your pickup, you will need a 9-volt battery.
