I’ve always loved that headstock design
I'd love to hear a sound comparison with a Gibson SJ-200
Check our latest upload... 👀
It would be nice if you can make a video comparison with the one that is around 800 to see if it is woth almost double the price
I tried one of these at my local music shop and it’s pretty amazing. The frets could probably be a bit smoother on the edges, but the feel of the neck and the sound of the guitar is gorgeous.
I played one yesterday… For some reason these particular guitars are not as resonant as the Gibson. I wanted to love it, but it certainly felt good; neck, fretboard, action etc. but just sounded thin to me? Wondering if the strings they are putting on these are not a good match? Maybe it’s the bracing? Something was missing. I owned a real vintage j-200 that was lost in a house fire so I know these guitars well.
I've got just the normal epiphone j200 inspired in natural I wanted the 1957 sj200 open book headstock version but didn't have enough funds. So how ever my local guitar builder and repair shop are converting the headstock on the one I have to look the same as this. I should have it back with in 4 wks I can't wait
Finally with an open moustache bridge and engraved pickguard! Well done Epiphone!
I wonder if Epiphone will do this with the Hummingbird as well...that 200 looks soooo good!!! Sounds great too!!
love this guitar
Thanks for including some harmonics in your sample. Big-body guitars are superb when they have bass-string 'fret growls' and strumming with huge bass tones, and you don't offer much of those. Need an example of a well-recorded bass-growl? TELL ME WHY from Neil Young's AFTER THE GOLD RUSH album.
I have a feeling this will be the next big channel. Excellent demo!
Wow, thank you so much! 🙏
Very nice instrument!
Nice surprise to hear From The Beginning by Emerson Lake & Palmer!!
Great Value!
Please give a comparison to the gibson j200.

What is the difference between that pick up and the LR Baggs Anthem? What are the differences between the $500, $1k, and $1.5k guitars? When and why should I consider each? How do they sound compared to each other? Thanks
All piezo pickups sound approximately the same.
0.5-1-1.5k guitars are relatively in the same ballpark value-wise, if they're all solid wood.
You should consider what fits your budget best.
Then what you like most, visually and tonally.
Whether you will perform or not.
Whether you're living in a humidity-temperature hellhole or not.
@@LegsONThe anthem is dual undersaddle and mic. The vtc is only undersaddle.
The anthem is the best natural sounding system on the market.
Ive played both and own two guitars with anthems. The vtc is great, but its not the anthem.
@@tonebone69 And Anthem is not Fishman mic blend. :)
Undersaddle pickups seriously damage acoustic tone.
@@tonebone69 Also, I was speaking of piezos. They're indeed almost the same.
Double pickups are in absolutely different league, of course.
Why did they stop making these in Indonesia? Those guitars were fantastic! They moved the factory to China and raised the price now..
keep the pickup, the stinger and make them better in Indonesia for 600 less. Gibson always has to ruin a good thing
Would of liked to of seen case and plugged in great video though thanks sharing I'll be getting one
Plugged in are all the same, any other LR Baggs demo will sound the same.
The Baggs VTC piezo is quacky. They should have included the newer Baggs HiFi system.
@@im58woody Too expensive. This model is 1400-1700$ new, with deluxe case.
That would make it +100$ I think, which would screw with its price point.
Would of liked to of seen?
You speak Chinese mate?
@@CrazyKnkb😂😂😂😂😂
Tried it in person. Great guitar, but for the same money, Taylor GS mini sounds, plays, and is more comfortable. Trust me. I tried multiple times over and over.
Of course a tiny guitar with short scale is easier to play.
Though you deny the tonal advantage of this Epiphone, you can't deny it looks three times better, will age better, has a deluxe case and a high quality pickup.
And it's a J-200, come on!
You don't compare apples to oranges.
You found this in store within a day of its release??
Yes we have it on stock sinds the day of release.
@@dirkwitte7509 wow! I haven't seen any other stores listing it in stock yet. Good to know!
I think OP may be thinking of the older base Epiphone j-200 CE because the GS mini isn’t $1500, totally different price brackets so I imagine they tried the $400-500 variant, not the custom shop that just released.
That thing has no soul, what a shame...No bass typical in a j200
Is the body of this new Epiphone inspired by Gibson 1957 SJ-200 Custom Shop, the same depth as the original Gibson J200 or is it thinner, like is the J-200 Epiphone inspired by Gibson that was released around 3 years ago?, that has not the same body depth than the original Gibson J200, is thinner.
Great question! I just measured the two and the Epiphone is 11.7cm deep at its widest point at the lower bout and 10.5cm deep at the upper bout.
The Gibson SJ200 Standard is 11.9cm deep at its widest point on the lower bout and 10.5cm deep at the upper bout. So a slight difference between the two at the lower bout.
@@dirkwitte7509 thank you so much for the info!!!
@@felipeepilefelipe we actually also posted an Epiphone vs Gibson SJ200 comparison earlier today today that might interest you!
@@dirkwitte7509 yes, I just saw it!, thank you so much. I also post a question on that video.
