PLEASE READ THIS! I owned this as my first guitar. For a first guitar it is good. But now looking back at it over a few years it isn't as good as I first thought. Yes it may be very pretty but a jumbo should give off much more bass tones and the comfort is ok(ish). For around £300 this people who made this probably spent most of it on it's looks. I'd recomment going for acoustics that are plain and simple where the makers spent the money on getting the sound and comfort right. CONSIDER THIS.
This guitar sucks ass. I had one from the early 90s and It just sounds like a toy, they dont age and will never get better than the day you buy it. I just gave mine away.
man! T_T i wanted to buy the Epiphone EJ-200 but i just noticed that is not Electric Acoustic, its just Acoustic... =( so i would have to get the Epiphone EJ-200CE but i like the shape of the EJ-200 T_T what if I buy the acoustic and make it electric acoustic?
Beauty of tone is in the ear of the beholder. I think this guitar is a heck of a deal, I like it, but I like it a LOT for the price. I have an Epiphone Broadway jazz box and it works just great without the $4,000 price tag hanging on the headstock, thank you very much. I prefer to purchase USA made products, but at 10:1 I'll have to settle for the Epiphone.
@19HIGGY man don't buy this guitar it sounds good unplugged and very very bad plugged i tried it with a fender sonoran sce and the fender blew it away for less money
@ivncdo0809 too late mate, ive bought it played it both pluged and unplugged sounds pretty decent, lol had it plugged into my vox VT100, on a distorted channel :P so X
DDDDDDDDDD= this guitar........omg.......honestly, in my opinion, some of these cheaper epiphones sond better than some of the gibsons. and I'm talking about electrics AND acoustics. I have compared both types between to different brands. now to decide whether i want to upgrade my Amp, or buy this masterpiece.
Not really. Going on what I've heard from other peoples recordings, there's really no difference. Personally, I prefer recording raw acoustics instead of the electric acoustics, so I'm gonna purchase the 200 instead of the 200ce. Not to mention, I hate the cutaway on the 200ce.
Does tone have to do w/ the type of wood the body is made. Why do everyone like sunburst? It looks like someone took an expensive guitar and tagged it w/ black spray paint...getto.
Been lookin' to pick one of these up for a while. I play lead in an acoustic duo over a Gibson Hummingbird. Do you think it would sound good over the 'Bird given that it has such a deep tone? Tested one and loved it because of the low action and it's ability to sustain the notes. Just wondering if anyone has played acoustic lead with it before and what you thought.
Those are factory strings what do you expect. the actual guitar sounds so much better, and is defiantely one of the best guitars i have played, and ive played a lot.
the deepness of the sound of the jumbo body is just incredible, i have it in sunburst and it just blows my mind, but i think i should have picked the natural
and thats the stupidest comment ever about that guitar SuperSquirrel or whatever your name is. This is Gibson owned, Gibson is like ferrari of guitars... this guitar has the low that you'll never find in any other acoustic guitars.. know what you're talking about before you make a stupid comment..
Cubs suck!
