The Epiphone EJ-200 is a jumbo-style 6-string acoustic guitar featuring a Maple body, select Spruce top, and body, neck, and headstock binding. Gold hardware and a set Maple neck with a crown inlay on a Rosewood fingerboard make this guitar a stunner.
Quality: Never owned a j200 but it couldn't be much nicer. From my experience having played them I don't see $3000.00 difference.
Value: The best guitar for the money I've ever seen.
Desirability: I'm a big guy, so this guitar looks better than the others I've owned that look like a ukulele on the big guy.
Sound: I am a working musician on a cruise ship. So my guitars have to be ready at all times, five shows, five days a week. The EJ200 has never let me down. Durable, great sound,and great looks.
Ease of Use: Best guitar neck of my life. Chords are smooth as silk. No buzzing, I hate buzzing!!!
