lengle1981 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 So who's got one of these? Thoughts? I have previously had 2 EJ200's in natural which I loved. Do these stand up to the old version? I know they don't make these anymore, just the shoulderless one which I'm not a fan of. So what are people's thoughts on these? They are an absolute steal at £150 here in the uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are an absolute steal at £150 here in the uk The Artist isn't worth it. Unlike the EJ-200SCE, the EJ-200 Artist is completely made of laminated wood; it's an inexpensive guitar for sure, and which I have had the chance to recently check out first hand at our local store. For a little more dough you are much better served in the short and long run with the actual EJ-200SCE or the IB64 Texan, both of which offer phenomenal value and phenomenal sound (solid wood plus built-in amp) at a relatively low price point.

Red 333 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I played one in a store a few years ago and was really surprised. My memory is that it had a solid top then, though, but that may not be correct. But it did sound very good, especially for such an afordable instrument.

prsteve Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I bought one of the new EJ200 all laminate models. It was very inexpensive. I wanted it to hang up in my office without worrying about lack of humidity causing a crack. There are times when I am planning for a worship service that I use the guitar to work out the music. It works well thus far for that purpose. It is readily available so I just pick it up and start. It had a bit better sound than I thought it might with a laminate top. But, understandably, I find its sound rather inferior to my Epi's (and other brands, too) with solid tops. Just my experience, YMMV. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohyew812 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 You would definitely be well served to spend a little more and go for the EJ-200SCE. It's a fantastic guitar. Superb set up, tone, and the eSonic system is super flexable! Andertons carries them too... http://www.andertons.co.uk/steel-string-acoustic-guitars/pid11775/cid677/epiphone-ej200ce-in-natural-with-gold-hardware.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
