It is also worth mentioning that in comparison with the original Gibson J-200, this Epiphone model is a real bargain. Although it’s not as good as the Gibson, it’s definitely suitable for guitarists on a tight budget. It also proves that a great guitar doesn’t have to cost thousands of dollars.

Additionally, this guitar will sound much better after setting it up properly. The original setup is okay, but adjusting the string action will definitely make it a bit more comfortable to play. Also, you may also benefit from changing the original strings to lighter gauge strings. When it comes to electronics, the EJ-200SCE stands out compared to other guitars in its price range. It has a Fishman Presys preamp with a convenient built-in tuner. The Presys is essentially an upgraded version of the Sonitone, as it offers far more tone-shaping possibilities. Beyond that, the preamp also allows for tone, blend, volume, and phase controls. Furthermore, you’ll only need fairly inexpensive watch batteries to power it. They’ll offer plenty of life in between each new installment, much more than the 9 volts often needed for preamps of this kind. The replacement process is also incredibly intuitive and easy to get behind you without much hassle. Firstly, this is not a high-end guitar.

Yes, I would definitely buy it! This is a perfect option for all musicians who don’t want to spend thousands of dollars on a new Gibson J200. In terms of sound quality, though, the EJ-200SCE offers more than would be expected for the price. It's bright with a strong and focused fundamental, but there's enough in terms of harmonics and overtones to make it sound remarkably rich and full.
