Epiphone J200EC Acoustic Electric Guitar Crafted from a solid spruce top and select maple back and sides, the J200 EC is an affordable version of the legendary Gibson J200, otherwise known affectionately as "King of The Flat Tops." This is a true best of both worlds instrument delivering you the unmistakable big, full jumbo sound along with a deep cutaway for enhanced access across the maple neck. After all, high notes sound particularly magical on this bigger boy. Jumbo Magic The J200 first appeared on the scene back in 1937, a time when the Gibson & Epiphone factories were primarily known for folk focused gear like Banjos and Mandolins. The need to compete against those louder string instruments inspired the "Jumbo" ethos of this exceptional EPI, big beautiful tone sure to shine through on stage and on record.   Stylin & Profilin:  The J200EC has an impressive stature but our friends at Epiphone went the extra mile decking this acoustic with a bound pau ferro fingerboard. Evoking it's royal status, the guitars pearloid crown inlays are seemingly inserted within the fretboard, a nice touch worthy of this "king." The Maple neck offers glorious contradiction, shaped to the SlimTaper profile so you can navigate the Jumbo with ease. 24 mm / 25.60 in
