darkvoice Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) hi all, I recently bought another Epiphone J-200 Inspired by Gibson guitar and I am not sure what I received. From what I know there are two color options for this model (burst and natural), both finished in aged gloss. However, the guitar that I got looks nothing like either of the two that I know: 1) It's finished in gloss. No dull matte or satin, just your normal gloss. 2) Different tuners - Grovers, 3) Binding is different, 4) No stripe on the neck. 3) Body is taller than normal J-200. Label inside say Inspired by Gibson, J-200 and serial number indicated it was made in 2021 by Samick in Indonesia. I took some photos of this strange guitar next to my J-200 in Natural and my friend's J-200 in burst. Please advise. Thanks!

Brucebubs Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) I think that's a Sweetwater special. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EIA200HSGH--epiphone-ej-200-acoustic-electric-heritage-cherry-sweetwater-exclusive Body is laminate maple - not solid woods. I think they sold a little cheaper than the solid wood IBG J-200's - $499.00 when the all solid wood IBG J-200's were $799.00. https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=620394 Edited January 1, 2022 by Brucebubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Joseph Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I agree that is the Sweetwater special. You should have payed less for that model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
