User review
The Epiphone EJ200 is overall a nice guitar however there has been
some users complaining about buzzing in the frets. If you don't mind
taking it to a guitar shop and having the frets tuned up to you liking
then you'll probably like this guitar.
The Epiphone EJ200 has a blonde color and the binding and clear coat
are flawless. It has a nice appearance and looks to be quality constructed.
The sound is bright so dosen't require a lot of eq to get it there.
Recommendation: Due to some of the complaints we've seen about the
buzzing this may or may not present a problem to you, if not you'll
probably like the Epiphone EJ200 otherwise you may want to keep shopping.
I aquired my EJ-200 From Musicians Friend in October 2002. With the
case, my Blonde wonder came to just under $500.00
Likes: It's a decent instrument for the price. The fit and trim is
quite good. I record with Condensor Mics. The EJ-200 has a bright sound
that doesn't require much EQ
Dislikes: There have been problems with the as delivered set up. There
was plenty of buzzing at the 12th fret. I didn't play it for about 2
weeks at one time. I picked up the guitar and the bridge saddle bottomed
into the slot. The problem was corrected by shimming the slot with several
small pieces of photo paper. I ended up fileing several of the frets
between the 6th and 10 frets then compounding them. I've been around
guitars all my life so I know where I'm at.I just think that closer
attention should've been paid during construction.
Quality: Fit and finish is great considering what the USA made J-200
costs new. Great binding and the clear coat is flawless. The machines
are quite nice. I think we're going to be great friends. She is called;
"Marilyn"; "Blonde and Curvey"!!
Summary: Overall; I like the epiphone
ej200 guitar. It's still breaking in. A solid Spruce top would've
been nice. It's a good buy for what I spent. It's not junk. If you record,
this sweetie likes big Condensor mics. It suits my needs and I don't
feel that I've been taken. Sometimes I wish I had larger hands!
