There’s a surprising amount of sound shaping, and it’s easy to get a good tone dialed in. The quality of amplified sound is natural sounding and as good as we’ve heard for an electro-acoustic at this price. Playability If your wallet doesn’t stretch to that other big Jumbo guitar, that we’re not going to mention by name, then the Epiphone EJ 200SCE should definitely be on your list. Forget the price tag on Epiphone's inspired by Gibson series. I own both brands and the Epiphone J-200EC plays as well and sounds as good as some of my more expensive guitars in my home studio! Epiphone really stepped up their game at a reasonable price point. Thank you Sweetwater and Epiphone! Please don't stop what you are doing. It is also worth mentioning that the manufacturer equipped this model with a high quality Pau Ferro fretboard, which feels very smooth.

Controls: FishmanPresyswith Volume control, Phase and Contour switches, and a built-in tuner with LED display This is a very well made and well-finished guitar manufactured in Korea. It has a solid spruce top and a laminate maple body. This is a flat-topped guitar, and unlike its expensive counterpart, it features non-scalloped bracing. The preamp has a three-band EQ, while many similarly-priced guitars have a two-band EQ or even no EQ at all. And of course, the volume knob comes in handy when you're plugged in. The Gibson Epiphone EJ 200SCE Guitar is a cherished prize. While it may not be “the” Gibson King of the Flat-tops, it’s still an excellent guitar that’ll fool your crowd with the authentic tones of an acoustic.The EJ-200SCE is an otherwise beautifully appointed instrument. Its tuners are top-notch Grover Rotomatics, and they're finished in gold for some extra sparkle. And like the original SJ-200, it has striking crown inlays on the fretboard. Its pau ferro mustache-style bridge also has beautiful inlays to match, but a simple rosette stops it from looking overly gaudy. Yes, Epiphone is a really good and reputable manufacturer of acoustic and electric guitars. Their gear is definitely worth it! Summary Additionally, this guitar will sound much better after setting it up properly. The original setup is okay, but adjusting the string action will definitely make it a bit more comfortable to play. Also, you may also benefit from changing the original strings to lighter gauge strings.

While they are easily most known for their world renown electric guitars, Gibson and its subsidiary brand Epiphone also manufactures acoustic (and acoustic-electric hybrid) guitar models that easily contend with those from any of the bigger names like Martin and Yamaha. Of note, the Epiphone 200SCE is an acoustic-electric hybrid model with gorgeous looks and killer sound. It hits a nice middle ground of affordable yet reasonably high quality, which is something of a benchmark for Epiphone in general. ModelsThe whole feel of the aesthetics is completed with the mustache bridge, Grover tuners, and gold screws.

A combination of timeless styyle, iconic design, and a rich acoustic history all comes together to eliver this stage-ready electro acoustic guitar. It’s a strummer’s delight with the highs offering articulation and the low-mids and bass creating a warm foundation that sounds full and orchestrated. The slim 1960s D-shape profile feels like a good middle ground for most styles, but we think it’s rhythm work where this guitar’s voice truly shines. One of the most valuable features of the preamp is the phase switch. A phase switch helps you control how two sets of soundwaves interact. When you're playing plugged in, soundwaves sometimes become out of phase. This leads to a thin sound that's underwhelming -- it robs you of your guitar's full sound. Engaging the phase switch stops the issue and makes your plugged-in sound especially rich.The Gibson J-200 acoustic guitar should send shivers down your spine. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, shame on you! But, the legacy of this famous guitar lives on in the EJ 200SCE. Let’s get a glimpse into how royalty was passed on to the acoustic electric counterpart of the “King of the Flat-tops.” An icon in itself. The jumbo cutaway has been seen in the hands of many. From Elvis and Bob Dylan to George Harrison and Noel Gallagher. It's a shape that has made its way through music history, holding a rich place in the hearts of many. And that's certainly something special. It's time to inject sonic oomph and instantly recognisable jumbo charisma into your next performance. In my opinion, this is one of the best guitars of this type that are available on today’s market. Are There Any Alternatives?
