as everybody knows, is the Epiphone branded gibson, that they are all manufactured in Korea from now!

The Epiphone EJ-200CE has a spruce top, the body of the guitar is maple and the neck, the keys are rosewood, the nut is plastic and the mic / preamp is a good Sonic 2 epiphone invoice includes a tuner diode has 3 positions (NANOMAG / bend / Nanoflex) and 2 equalizer, phase 1 button, 1 button tuner, volume and a wear indicator cell in short it is complete and have it tested connected we have a good range of good quality sound!
the mechanics are Grover bath oil, acastillage is gold!
Chevallet is the type "mustache"



UTILIZATION

the handle which includes 20 boxes with the benchmarks reversed pineapple is nice to play (it necessarily includes the same features as its big sister, the Gibson J-200), access to acute is easy because you're on a guitar with pan cut!

I advise against small jigs (-1.65m) because it is a big guitar Super Jumbo shape with a thick body!

SOUNDS

as I bought OCCAZ with old strings, they already sounded pretty good but were not exploited its potential with a half rope rusty, so I mounted Elixir (phosphorus Bronze Custom Light 22 32 November 15 42 52) and is the revelation!
it sounds serious with good deep bass and treble crystalline (I compared the Gibson J200 has a buddy, you're not in the same record but for a guitar sound 10 times less expensive that it is doing more honorably)
this guitar is not typed for a particular style, it's versatile, can play blues, pop rock and even the picking!

with a mini home studio, I have not tried it on an amp, but live on my monitoring speakers, the sound is clean!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months, and although I intend to invest in a Gibson Songwrtier standart Deluxe Cutaway, I do not sell it, because a guitar is 250 € which sounds as good with a sunburst finish and cutaway, I no better!

the feature I like least is that his case is voluminous, but the cons by its strength, because with such a case it sounds good with good bass!

I would do without hesitation that choice, I never found both in this price range!
