The most accessible version of the famous King of the Flat-Tops, now with a cutaway body for even more expressive possibilities

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.

A battery is not included. To power your pickup, you will need a 9-volt battery.
