The most accessible version of the famous King of the Flat-Tops:
The Epiphone J-200 Studio is part of the all-new Epiphone Studio Acoustic Collection. These guitars have been completely reimagined to offer the most authentic and affordable acoustic guitars inspired by iconic Gibson designs. The J-200 Studio offers a blend of classic design and modern functionality and was designed to appeal equally to beginners and seasoned players alike. Based on the classic Gibson SJ-200, “The King of the Flat-Tops,” the J-200 Studio has a Super Jumbo body and a 25.5” scale length, just like the Gibson model that inspired it. The J-200 Studio delivers a warm, rich tone with exceptional clarity, making it ideal for a wide range of musical styles. The J-200 Studio has a layered maple body with four-ply binding on the top, single-ply binding on the back, fretboard, and headstock, and a solid spruce top for a responsive, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that will sound even better as it ages. The mahogany neck is joined to the body with a glued-in tapered dovetail neck-to-body joint and features a 1960s SlimTaper D profile that ensures comfortable playability. The neck is topped with a rosewood fretboard equipped with 20 standard frets and dressed up with pearloid graduated crown inlays. The other ends of the strings are routed over a compensated plastic saddle and are anchored to the Moustache rosewood bridge with ivory bridge pins with black dots. The iconic Moustache bridge is dressed up with four pearloid inlays.

Epiphone also included other details that give the J-200 Studio even more vintage-style visual appeal, including a classic J-200 style tortoise shell-colored pickguard with the legendary two-color J-200 graphics, Epiphone Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, and a bound 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock with the Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown proudly displayed in mother of pearl. The J-200 Studio comes with Fishman electronics, including an S-Core under-saddle pickup and Fishman Presys VT preamp with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls that are quick and easy to access for the player while being nearly invisible to the audience. The Epiphone J-200 Studio has a gloss finish and is offered in two vintage-inspired colors—Natural and Vintage Sunburst. Both right and left-handed versions are available. A standard gig bag is also included.
