Epiphone J-200 EC Studio VS

I simply fell in love with this guitar after strumming my first chords on it, the construction, finish, playability and sound are on a par with a guitar costing significantly more, what a great axe I can't say it enough, it really sounds like a guitar double its price.
The action is lighter and lower than you'd expect from an acoustic, so while this is still a guitar that likes to be strummed, it's great for finger pickers as well.
The groover machine heads feel smooth as butter and stay in tune very well. The preamp system sounds great after you fiddle with the knobs for a while and find the "right" sound for yourself.
I love it and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a quality instrument at an affordable price.

I love this guitar, the tone is beautiful, the quality is unbelievable for the price it is very well made and the pick ups and preamp sound amazing, there is a blend fader where you can choose between pickups or gradually blend the sound of the nanomag and nanoflex pickups and this feature works very well. it is fitted with grover gold machine heads which are fantastic at staying in tune, they have a solid precise feel to them I have used thomann before and this is my 3rd purchase from them it arrived super fast and I am extremely happy with the guitar and the superb service thomann offer, if you want a top quality guitar under £500 don't look any further, this is the one.

POSITIVE+
it's been three to four months since i own this guitar in vintage sunburst color and i can say with out any doubt when ever i look at it i love this beauty. its a pretty awesome looking guitar kind of a premium and classic mix in it.
The Grover tuner keeps guitar in tune for a long time.
The Esonic pre amp and built in tuner is really help full specially the blend option between nano-meg and nenoflex pickups and it sound very bright whit amp plugged in but
NEGATIVE-
volume of the guitar unplugged is not as much as the size of large jumbo body guitar but its not a big deal cause most of the time i play it plugged in.
I have also experienced fret buzzing in this guitar which really disappoints me a lot maybe its because of this guitar have an low action or have a bad neck angle seems like i have to spend some more money on neck setup.
but still i will give it 4 stars as I love the looks of the guitar.
And I would also like to mention that Thomann have one if the best customer services.

A well made guitar by Epiphone with a nice selection of gold hardware, the guitar arrived with no issues well packed & within 4 days.

The action string height was fine on delivery but I adjusted to my own liking & dropped the action slightly by shaving the saddle only slightly. the neck relief was perfect on receipt, & allowed for an easy set up, as the frets were nice & level & required NO dressing or anything so this guitar in my view was made to quite a high standard the finish had no flaws & was pristine.

The volume unplugged I thought would've been louder, but when plugged in the guitar really came to life, & has a really lovely tone, & I can confirm these shadow pickups these guitars are fitted with are really nice pickups, highly recommended.

I believe this guitar to be suited to most genres of music & styles & really cuts through nicely in a band environment, for what the guitar costs it really is amazing, & definitely worth the money if you are specifically looking for a Jumbo acoustic, as for this sort of money you cant go wrong that's for sure...so in my book I highly recommend this guitar particularly if you are looking for a stereo facility that this guitar is made with...enjoy!

These guitars deliver in spades ,visually, sound ,and features,
The woods selected for body are nicely grained and matched.
The fret board is super level .
Machine head's are as smooth as silk.
Preamp delivers a good range of tones if just a little under powered.
Sound quality is a good step up from many mid priced guitars,nice balanced bas quite pleasing trebles maybe just a hint of boxiness .verdict ! Great guitar but I personally prefer Harley Bentons CL king jumbo,it just edges the epiphone out of the running
Sound finish and overall quality. But the epiphone is still a great guitar with classic appeal.

I've had a Yamaha FG100 before this and I thought that sounds really nice as it had quite bright sound. This guitar was surely an improvement. It feels a lot better in terms of sound and build quality.

Pros:
Sturdy
Nice overall sound
Awesome design

Cons:
The strings are not that good and I will surely change them in the upcoming weeks.

Overall, this is a great guitar for this price. The solid top really makes a big difference and the rest of the build has a nice finish.
Even though it might have some factory defects (some glue sticking out on some parts) they are not really visible until you take a really close look.
