Epiphone Limited Edition EJ-200SCE Left Hand (Vintage Sunburst)

Epiphone Limited Edition EJ-200SCE Left Hand (Vintage Sunburst) Overview

The new Ltd. Ed. EJ-200SCE Left Handed is Epiphone's modern version of the "Super Jumbo" or as its better known among collectors, the King of the Flat Tops. And now there's a model for southpaws! The EJ-200CE is one of the most distinctive'and most beautiful--acoustic guitars in the history of popular music. But don't just take our word for it. The "J-200" is known worldwide for its hourglass shape and strong midrange tone that has powered every major trend in rock, pop, country, and folk since it was first introduced in 1938. Today, the Epiphone Ltd. Ed. EJ-200SCE Left-Handed is the direct descendant of the singular acoustic guitar whose look and sound have been treasured for generations over all genres. King of the Cowboys Gene Autry, honky tonk queen Emmylou Harris (who now owns Gram Parsons' J-200), the Everly Brothers, The Who's Pete Townshend (who composed The Who's Tommy on his J-200), Reverend Gary Davis, Elvis Presley, Paul Weller, Keith Richards, Bob Dylan, and George Harrison have all recorded, performed, and posed for record covers with their Super Jumbos.

When Epiphone introduced the affordable EJ-200 and then the EJ-200CE (cutaway) in the 90s, it provided a new generation of artists access to the Super Jumbo sound for the first time. Noel and Liam Gallagher used an Epiphone EJ-200 as their main writing guitar for Oasis' debut album including the worldwide hit, "Wonderwall." And today, two of Epiphone's most critically acclaimed independent artists'songwriter Todd Snider and Emmy Award winner "Farmer" Jason Ringenberg'are hardly ever seen on stage without their EJ-200CE. "I've given away at least 10 EJ-200CE's over the years," says Todd Snider. "I love them. I can't play anything else."

The Epiphone Ltd. Ed. EJ-200SCE Left-Handed has all the classic looks and sound of hard-to-find vintage originals including a Select Maple body, a Solid Sitka Spruce top and a striking cutaway for easy upper-fret access. The SlimTaperGäó Maple "C"-shape neck makes it easy to hold full chords while keeping a driving rhythm. The Rosewood fingerboard has vintage styled Pearloid "Crown" inlays and the body of the EJ-200SCE has 6-layer Ivory/Black inlay. The EJ-200SCE's body back, fingerboard, and a Sloped Dovewing headstock have single-layer Ivory binding. One of the "King's" most distinguishing features is its Rosewood "moustache" bridge and tortoise style pickguard which is modeled after late 40s models and is set off by two color finishes--Natural, and Vintage Sunburst. Epiphone's hardware has always been the best in the business and the EJ-200SCE is no exception with features gold Grover® Rotomatic 18:1 Ratio tuners and gold screws on the traditional "bell" style truss rod cover.

The EJ-200SCE's balanced tone makes it an easy guitar to amplify with the revolutionary Shadow® NanoFlexGäó and NanoMagGäó pickup system. The Shadow® NanoMagGäó neck pickup is a revolutionary magnetic acoustic design featuring three samarium magnets that captures a wider, more balanced frequency range, as well as harmonics lost by regular magnetic pickups. The NanoFlexGäó bridge pickup provides precise tonal fidelity that's far superior in vibration transfer and amplification than more expensive, competing systems. The pickup is very thin and flexible allowing it to lie perfectly in the saddle tray to give the best possible contact from the saddle and the bridge. The NanoFlexGäó and NanoMagGäó units work together with the rim-mounted, Epiphone eSonic2Gäó preamp system and are then outputed to a mono blend via a -+" jack or a stereo -+" output jack. The eSonic2Gäó preamp system comes equipped with a convenient built-in electronic tuner which also acts as a mute when tuning or plugging in. Preamp controls include a Blend fader, which increases or decreases the amount of the NanoFlexGäó and NanoMagGäó output, separate NanoFlexGäó and NanoMagGäó EQ knobs, a Master Volume control, a Phase or "anti-feedback" switch, and a Digital Tuner control. The system is powered by two easily replaceable 2032 Lithium batteries that last many times longer than a dreaded 9 Volt battery. The Ltd. Ed. EJ-200SCE Left-Handed comes with Epiphone's two year warranty and 24/7/365 Gibson Brands Customer Service.
