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 other ends of the strings are routed over a compensated plastic saddle and are anchored to the Moustache rosewood bridge with ivory with black dot bridge pins. The Moustache bridge is decorated with four pearloid inlays.

We also included other features that give the J-200 Studio EC even more vintage-style visual pizazz, including an iconic J-200 style tortoise shell-colored pickguard with classic two-color J-200 graphics, Epiphone Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, and a bound 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock with the Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown proudly displayed in mother of pearl. The J-200 Studio EC comes with Fishman electronics, including an S-Core under-saddle pickup and Fishman Presys II preamp with side-mounted volume, bass, treble, and phase controls. It also has a convenient built-in electronic tuner that makes tuning up quick and easy. The Epiphone J-200 Studio EC 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.
