For decades, the Gibson SJ-200 reigned supreme as "The King of the Flat-Tops." Now, the Epiphone J-200 Studio left-handed acoustic-electric guitar carries that royal lineage forward for a new generation of players. Part of the all-new Studio Acoustic Collection, the J-200 Studio delivers iconic Super Jumbo power and projection at a price that’s more accessible than ever. A solid spruce top paired with layered maple back and sides produces full-bodied resonance, rich overtones and shimmering clarity. The SlimTaper D mahogany neck offers a familiar, comfortable feel, while the Moustache bridge and two-color J-200 pickguard embody timeless Gibson style. Outfitted with Fishman Presys VT electronics, the J-200 Studio is ready to shine on stage, in the studio or anywhere inspiration strikes.
Solid Spruce Top and Super Jumbo Design for Legendary Projection
At the heart of the J-200 Studio is its Super Jumbo body—designed for room-filling projection and a commanding voice. The solid spruce top ensures clarity and responsiveness, while the layered maple back and sides add crisp definition and balanced low end. Together, these tonewoods create a broad dynamic range that shines in any genre, from country ballads to rock anthems. With its striking four-ply top binding and gloss finish, this reimagined flat-top looks every bit as impressive as it sounds, providing the kind of power and presence that has made the J-200 a favorite for generations of songwriters and performers.
SlimTaper Mahogany Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard for Effortless Feel
The J-200 Studio’s mahogany neck features a 1960s SlimTaper D profile for a smooth, fast-playing feel that adapts easily to different styles. Its 25.5" scale length provides ideal string tension and resonance, while the rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and a touch of vintage charm. Pearloid graduated crown inlays bring classic Gibson flair to the look, perfectly complementing the instrument’s elegant binding and headstock detailing. Combined with the sturdy dovetail neck joint and 20 precisely dressed frets, this design ensures consistent playability from the first chord to the last note—making every performance feel natural and inspiring.
Stage-Ready Sound With Fishman Presys VT Electronics
Equipped with Fishman’s acclaimed S-Core undersaddle pickup and Presys VT preamp, the J-200 Studio delivers natural, articulate tone whether you’re performing live or recording direct. The discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls make real-time adjustments quick and easy without detracting from the guitar’s vintage aesthetic. From soft fingerpicked passages to hard strumming, the Fishman system captures the instrument’s depth, clarity and resonance with exceptional fidelity. Plug into any amp or PA and the J-200 Studio’s commanding acoustic character shines through—giving players studio-quality sound in every setting.
Iconic Super Jumbo Style With Vintage-Inspired Appointments
Every detail of the J-200 Studio celebrates its legendary lineage. The Moustache rosewood bridge with pearloid inlays, faux-tortoiseshell pickguard with two-color J-200 graphics, and bound 1960s Kalamazoo-style headstock give this model unmistakable Gibson DNA. Nickel Epiphone Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons and ivory bridge pins with black dots add the finishing touches to a look that’s both regal and familiar. Wrapped in a timeless gloss finish, this guitar captures the visual splendor of the original while keeping the weight and balance ideal for modern playability.
