The Epiphone J-200 Studio EC acoustic-electric guitar brings the grandeur of the "King of the Flat-Tops" into the hands of everyday players. Inspired by the legendary Gibson SJ-200, it blends the Super Jumbo’s signature projection and rich tone with refined appointments and modern electronics. A solid spruce top pairs with a layered maple body for balanced resonance and shimmering clarity, while the 1960s SlimTaper D mahogany neck ensures effortless playability. Classic visual touches—the moustache rosewood bridge, ornate crown inlays and bold faux-tortoiseshell pickguard—echo decades of acoustic tradition. Equipped with a Fishman Presys II pickup system and onboard tuner, the J-200 Studio EC is equally at home on stage, in the studio or in your living room.
Solid Spruce and Layered Maple for Legendary Super Jumbo Tone
Built for power and projection, the J-200 Studio EC’s Super Jumbo body captures the full-bodied resonance and dynamic range that defined the original SJ-200. Its solid spruce top responds beautifully to every playing nuance, while the layered maple back and sides add focused brightness and sustain. The result is a voice that’s both warm and articulate—perfect for bold strumming, fingerstyle or vocal accompaniment. Elegant four-ply top binding and a lustrous gloss finish complete the look, giving the J-200 Studio EC a commanding stage presence worthy of its legendary lineage.
SlimTaper Mahogany Neck for Effortless Playability
Designed for comfort and speed, the mahogany neck features a 1960s SlimTaper D profile that feels instantly familiar in the hand. A glued-in dovetail joint enhances sustain and resonance, while the smooth rosewood fingerboard provides a natural, responsive touch. Classic pearloid graduated crown inlays evoke vintage Gibson charm, and the 25.5" scale length adds a touch of tension for clear articulation and balanced tone across the strings. Whether you’re exploring new chords or taking melodic solos past the 12th fret, the J-200 Studio EC’s cutaway design keeps every note within reach.
Fishman Presys II Electronics With Built-in Tuner
Stage-ready and studio-smart, the J-200 Studio EC comes equipped with Fishman electronics for reliable, natural-sounding amplification. The S-Core undersaddle pickup captures the guitar’s full acoustic character, while the Presys II preamp gives you precise control with volume, bass, treble and phase adjustments. A built-in tuner ensures you’re always in tune, no matter where you’re playing. The discreet side-mounted design keeps the focus on the guitar’s classic aesthetic, making this Super Jumbo as visually refined as it is sonically versatile.
Vintage Style, Modern Dependability
True to its heritage, the J-200 Studio EC features a signature moustache rosewood bridge with pearloid inlays and a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard adorned with classic two-color J-200 graphics. Nickel hardware, Epiphone Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons and a bound 1960s Kalamazoo-style headstock add to its vintage allure.
