Review Epiphone EJ200 Jumbo Acoustic Guitar
Epiphone EJ-200CE Modeled after the Gibson J-200 which was first made in 1937 and was a radical new design, bigger and bolder and louder than other guitars on the market at the time.
The budding American Popular music scene required a guitar that could project a balanced tone into larger venues.
The Gibson J-200 is one of the most popular acoustic guitars and has been used by Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Robbie Robertson, Buddy Holly, Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons, and Pete Townshend, to name a few.

Supposed to be equipped with an eSonic pick up but I happened to find a great deal at my favorite local store, The Doo Wop Shop. It’s an EJ-200 that has been refurbished by MIRC just outside of Nashville.
They installed an Elan 4-TN pick up with pop up controls that keep them out of the way when you play and a built in tuner
This also explains the far better than factory set up the guitar had when I first picked it up. Thanks to Gabriel for that info.

I want to play live but also want to record in the studio
I want the guitar has the same acoustic sound when connected as when the guitar is unplugged
Thanks!!!
which is better (Natural Acoustic Sound) F ishman Presys + vs Esonic2 thanks a lot!!!!!!
Man, I’d love to help but I haven’t played ANY of those!!!! I could make a guess based on specs, but you can read all that for yourself. Besides, when you get to that level of comparison it comes down to the sound and feel that YOU want. You need to play them, get down and dirty with the axe so you can know if it gives back what you put into it.
Thanks for contacting me and happy shopping!
