Hi
To be honest I have not played the EJ200. I can only recommend my IB 1964 Texan. In my mind it ticks the boxes for beginner right up to advanced player. Firstly it would be ideal budget wise, and if you get a 'good' one it will see you through for a long time. Very easy to play. comfortable neck, great tone, solid top and back with a good pickup system if you need to plug in.
I'm 6' 2" with 'long monkey arms' so the advanced jumbo shape feels like a much smaller guitar for me(OM, 000 in comparison). From a vanity point of view it looks great. You've got an attractive retro look, from a distance my gets mistaken for a Gibson.
IMHO I can't recommend this guitar highly enough. Good luck with your search, find the guitar that is right for you, have fun.
