You'll love it. It's still my every day use/gig acoustic guitar. The tuner is great in it too. Let us know when it arrives and how you get on with it. Andy from Britpop Reunion.
Did you get one? I discovered this model in 2020, but when I wanted to order it in 2021, the price had gone up from €279 to €415, and it was sold out. Then, the price went to €479! All the places that show a price in the low 400s also say “delivery time unknown.” I finally got mine used, in mint condition, for €270. I was extremely lucky. 🍀
Dude this channel is awesome. I love britpop and the second I saw you wearing a Fred perry polo I knew you knew what you were talking about. Awesome video, subscribing.
The thing is, Gibson brought out the EJ-200 back in the day. Epiphone, before they were swallowed up by Gibson, brought out their FT-210 in the early 1950's. It was a "one-up" improvement on the Gibson, which is why they called it the 210 instead of 200. This Epiphone, though now made by Gibson, is a copy of the original EPIPHONE FT-210. That's why it has the cutaway. And, I think that's what makes it superior to the much more expensive Gibson EJ-200. And of course, that eSonic pickup system is probably the best acoustic/electric system out there.
Waiting for mine in the mail, cant wait to capo it up and do some open E slide on it. I noticed in your vid it has a sweet type almost mandolin sound when a capo is used.
@@Britpop-Tribute-Band Love it BUT I wanted to ask you if when you capo it you get fret buzz? Also is it just me or does Epiphone string their new retail guitars with the heaviest cruelest strings ever made? Ive been breaking it in and not wanting to change the strings and it hurts to even type now due to these strings lol
@@deonadar8302 Hey. Yeah, you;re totally right. Get some Elixir Nanoweb 80/20 Bronze 12 | 53 on them. They last forever and your fingers will thank you. Happy playing, Andy
@@Britpop-Tribute-Band What are the odds you meantion that. Iam an electric player AND I have high aciidic content in my fingers (strings get coated with a black gunk). I decided to research that the other day and ELIXIRS came right up. I put Martin retro mediums on the jumbo and iam still wrestling with the gauge. I will order some of the elixirs up you just mentioned. Happy Playing man
@@deonadar8302 You have the exact same problem as one of my old guitarists. I believe he moved onto the strings I'm suggesting and they worked a lot better for him. Let us know how you get on back here. Cheers Andy
+ＪｎＬ Hey. Yeah, thats a nice acoustic guitar, unfortunately its not an electro acoustic though. I'd love a none cutaway version, but the only way you can get an electro acoustic version these days is to spend over £3000 on the actual Gibson one.......I'll leave that for now :)
Nice guitar & nice song & singing and thanks for the upload thinking of buying one of those really stunning looking EJ-200S thanks again..... Glenn in New York
Great review video lovely guitar and sound and good singing too i am putting this guitar on my shopping list thank you greetings from Rep of Ireland 😀👍👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀🍀
Damn! ONLY $299 US dollars in March 2016 and they are now asking $429 for it here in the states in May 2017. How the hell did it increase so much in just a year??? I just bought mine today (5/26/17) at 15% off ($429 listed) for Memorial Day weekend here across the pond in the states and paid $365 with the discount. It still bums me though that they sell across the pond in the UK for only $299 USD. Great video and I hope mine sounds as good as yours does on that's on a video? I bought the natural model, as the sunburst never appealed to me and I already have 2 ebony guitars so I thought a nice clear natural would be nice to own.
Hello, did u experience any buzzing with the guitar? I want to know before buying it, I have buzzing that can't be fixed with my current acoustic guitar and would like to know beforehand. Thanks alot!
You'll find that buzz will be FRET BUZZ. Your action is either too low so you either need to adjust the truss rod or try a new saddle. you may need a FRETT DRESS. I had no issue with this straight out of the box but I did set it up properly after making this video.
I am awaiting mine to be delivered today. I am a little disappointed that mine does not come with the stereo jacks. I feel i was tricked in a way because even though the numbers are the same, they switched it to just a one jack one pickup Fishman system without letting the customer know. Oh well, we will see i guess.
So the SCE is the Super Jumbo Size, right? Cause there is a "studio" or Parlor or Coupe Version which I don´t fully understand but its a smaller one How can I know that its the Super Jumbo?
This is a Super Jumbo. I'm f*cked if I know what that really means in comparison to a Jumbo and the other sizes you mention I'm afraid chief. Cheers Andy
sounds great but Why do They set the action so high,mine needs taking in & lowered to really enjoy it, that's my only quibble,but it's a cheapish guitar so it's sort of expected to an extent
What bugs me more is why don't shop staff in bricks & mortar shops set guitars up once in a while so they're easier to play and therefore make them easier to sell?......Lazy lazy. Andy
@@Britpop-Tribute-Band yeah right enough, They charge extra for set up, which is not cool, I got really lucky with my electric Epiphone LP custom pro, I bought a mint condition 1 on eBay and I've literally done nothing to it and it plays pretty Damn good, it's 1 of those guitars you can pick up and find difficult to put down lol
You have real talent my friend! You sound great. I have been in the market for a j200 for a while and now I'm starting to consider Epiphone instead of Gibson but my concern is always that cheaper guitars don't seem to hold up over time as well as higher-quality guitars what are your thoughts on that?
Hi. I've never played the Gibson version of this guitar, but I gig this actual Epiphone at weddings etc all the time and I still absolutely love it. Sure it needed setting up a little, but that was it really. Ive never had anyone tell me it sounds bad or average. Plus its looks so cool too. All the best Andy.
@@Britpop-Tribute-Band "The inspired by Gibson uses all solid wood construction. This one has laminated maple back and sides. Also the electronics are different."
yesterday i went to a guitar store and tried the gibson j-45 and the epiphone ej200ec, j-45 is better,but its price's 5 times, but the sound's not 5 times better
MY Ran so what would you go for if you had the money I got epiphone ej200 CE .but what did you fine? would you but the j45 Gibson if you had the money .did it sound better than ej200 CE epiphone .could you tell .?
@corky finally i bought the ej200ec though i had enough money, but i do think u'd better buy the j45,for u won't regret. but for me its a little different, i had bought a gibson hummingbird before, so my second one is just for practicing at home, so i choose the ej200ec,
Hey man, thanks for the comprehensive video. Much appreciated. Quick question: I'm thinking of buying one for my 23 year old daughter, but am a little worried that it's a bit too big or unwieldy for an average female. Should I be concerned, or will the size be fine? Sometimes hard to get an idea of scale when watching a video. Thanks again. 👍
@@Britpop-Tribute-Band Thanks for your reply, mate. Yeah she's medium build I suppose. She has another 4 acoustics which she seems to handle just fine, but none of them are as big as this one. Either way, I've bought it now and an Epiphone hard case too, so we'll see. Mind you, I'd be more than happy to take it off her hands any time at all. 😀 Thanks again. Much appreciated.
Hey. Er, I don't know. I pulled it out of the box and just played it so whatever strings they come with from the factory. The audio was just picked up from my lavalier microphone.
+ajay godase No problem, I just happened to be sitting at my computer. Its a great guitar and I'm VERY happy with it. Get it set up properly though once you've purchased it and you'll love it even more.
I don't remember stating that I thought Oasis were a good band in this video. I appreciate your thoughts on people from Britain as a general though as yes we do generally :) Don't forget to subscribe and hit that notification bell. Peace and love Andy from Britpop Reunion
I can't wait I'm ordering mine this month, so excited... I like how there's a tuner built in to the guitar, hopefully they still have it in 2020.
You'll love it. It's still my every day use/gig acoustic guitar. The tuner is great in it too. Let us know when it arrives and how you get on with it. Andy from Britpop Reunion.

Yeah, its great isnt it.
I love mine but fuck me its huge, now im not a small man but its like huggin a bbw lmao mines name is Big Bertha.
Dude this channel is awesome. I love britpop and the second I saw you wearing a Fred perry polo I knew you knew what you were talking about. Awesome video, subscribing.
Cheers dude, much appreciated. You never know, Amazon might make it a Black Friday deal again this year.
BritpopReunion for the polo?
I've been using this guitar for about 5 years now and I love it.
I guess thats nearly 4 years for me. I love it too. Seriously, there is NOTHING wrong with this guitar.
I bought one yesterday, in black. I had no intention of buying a guitar but it was on sale, so I gave it a try and loved it. Great video, thanks!
The black one looks cool too yeah. Cheers Andy
I know what you mean about it sounding like there's a Chorus effect. The Jumbo body has so many rich tones.
Very rich sounds, very cheap price. Here's a new video with it in ua-cam.com/video/Xbw0Bb9x33I/v-deo.html
great review fella and playing
Bless you sir. Here's a new video with it in ua-cam.com/video/Xbw0Bb9x33I/v-deo.html
The fingerboard isn’t rosewood, but “Pao Ferro”, isn’t it?
I just got a used but like new EJ200SCE/VS from 2017. I love it. 😊
Thats a very good point, it might be Pao Ferro. Super guitar isn't it?

This is a superb guitar with a reasonable price. Definitely gonna get one for myself
It really is.

I have a Epiphone EJ-200 artist Ltd. 2014, I think it's the same guitar as this... but I like more the artist because does not have cutaway for me
+ＪｎＬ Hey. Yeah, thats a nice acoustic guitar, unfortunately its not an electro acoustic though. I'd love a none cutaway version, but the only way you can get an electro acoustic version these days is to spend over £3000 on the actual Gibson one.......I'll leave that for now :)

Wow, I didn't hear about that. That sucks. Do you know when this change occurred? Andy
Really cool video Bro! Thank you!! Im convinced I'm getting one now. Did you like the electrics once you plugged in??
Yeah, I love it. Sounds brilliant and its perfect for my needs. Being able to blend the two pickups can give you pretty much any sound.
Here's a new video with it in DI'd into a recording device ua-cam.com/video/Xbw0Bb9x33I/v-deo.html
Is that real a box within a box? Wow!
Safety first :) Cheers Andy
I got the natural colour one which I did an unboxing for as well

What strings have you on the guitar, what gauge and with what you recorded ? Thanks !

You can file down the bridge
