Iconic Super Jumbo Acoustic-electric from Epiphone

The King of the Flat Tops is reborn in the Epiphone J-200 acoustic-electric guitar. This Super Jumbo classic has all the vintage tone, design, and playability of the original at an amazing price. The Inspired by Gibson J-200 offers a solid Sitka spruce top and solid figured maple back and sides for a knockout blend of punchy high end and robust midrange and low end. The 2-piece maple neck with mahogany center strip and the Indian laurel fingerboard deliver incredible playability and response. And when you are ready to plug in, onboard Fishman electronics provide pristine amplified acoustic tone.

A storied tradition spanning decades of legendary artists

The SJ-200 first appeared in 1937, becoming much sought after for the big volume and projection that made it ideal for ensembles that included banjo and fiddle. It would go on to prominence through the '50s and into the present, with the likes of Elvis Presley, Tex Ritter, Jimmy Page, and Bob Dylan all falling for its one-of-a-kind tone. Strum a first-position open chord, and you'll hear the Epiphone J-200's massive, full sound and impressive projection — enough to fill a room even when unplugged! Just like the aforementioned legends, many of us here at Sweetwater have been won over by the J-200.

No detail left behind

Epiphone wanted to bring you the detailed appointments that make the J-200 such a visual delight for both you and your audience. The Epiphone J-200 features an aged gloss finish that lets the natural spruce really live. A vintage pickguard with a flower-and-dot design and moustache bridge with curved block inlays are iconic centerpieces of the J-200. The Indian laurel fingerboard also features the unmistakably classic mother-of-pearl graduated crown inlays. And to top it all off, a vintage crown inlay on the headstock and classic Epiphone Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons are also included on this amazing acoustic-electric guitar.

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Blown Away

I've purchased a ton of great electric guitars from Sweetwater, but I've never invested in a good acoustic so I decided it was time. My budget was $ so I was in between the J200, The Excellente, and a Taylor. My buddy has a Taylor so I know what it sounds like. I just kept going back to the J200 and watched a ton of reviews. I've never played the Gibson version before so I can't compare, but when I played my first chord, I was pleasantly relieved and surprised on how amazing it felt snd sounded. Feels like a $5k guitar would feel like it, if I had to guess. The finish is stunning. Plays like butter. My only knock is that it doesn't come with a case. Wish it would have, but that's ok. Thanks to Mike Soper for talking me through the purchase. Helpful as always.

My love

Simply the most beautifully sounding (and looking) guitar I've ever owned. It is effortless to play and its natural acoustic sound fills an entire room. I've had mine for 2 years and it is still pure love playing it. It sounds like a $ guitar but it's not.

Very nice

Let me start off that this guitar sounds and plays amazing for the money but did need work after I received it. No it was not due to anything Sweetwater did. I removed the plastic bridge pins and installed a wooden set to be more fitted. I noticed the original plastic pins sat extremely low into the bridge slots. There were two frets that sat high on the fret board and there was some buzzing. After some work the guitar is perfect. I also gave this guitar three days in a humidified room with a Tonerite device vibrating the thicker than Gibson sika top. I feel like after some break in time your J-200 will be more responsive and have more lower end. The folks at Gibson/Epiphone did some amazing things here. I am not sure how they can deliver such an amazing guitar for the price.

WOW!! JUST WOW!!

After reading many positive reviews on this guitar, I decided to try one out for myself and I was so pleasantly surprised. This guitar really delivers!! I have played many guitars by Epiphone from Doves to Les Pauls and have honestly never been impressed by their quality or playability. On the other hand I've had the privilege of playing a friend's Gibson Hummingbird on several occasions for gigs and shows. This guitar is not far off the quality of Gibson and sounds better than some I've played in guitar stores. I have been playing guitar for over 25 years, mostly country and leading worship, and this guitar is the real deal. The action is absolutely amazing all the way up the fretboard, and the neck feels great in hand. Tone is warm, rich, and full; just like you would expect from a big-bodied guitar. On top of being a great sounding instrument, this guitar is beautiful. Pictures do not do justice to the incredible finish on this guitar! If you are in the market for a jumbo and don'd have $5K setting around, do yourself a favor and try one of these "Inspired by Gibson" series by Epiphone. You will be blown away!!

Can't beat it for this price

Owned and played many guitars for 60 years. Not a pro, but have played vintage Gibsons. You will have a hard time finding a better playing and sounding guitar with a solid top for this price if it's like mine. After playing it for a few times in a retail store, sold my Martin and got this (there, sorry Sweetwater). Got home, put good strings on it, wow! Very happy.
