Feature:
Great sunburst finish (although some black outlining on the seams was not perfect), high quality tuners - would have preferred better quality bridge pins, but, I can change these anytine.
There appear to be some rumours going around about the natural finish having a solid spruce top. I have contacted Epiphone directly and they have confirmed to me that THE NATURAL DOES NOT HAVE A SOLID SPRUCE TOP.
'Love or hate' big, fancy moustache bridge - I love it.
Quality:
Would have preferred a solid spruce top, but, for the price no complaints at all on quality.
Gold plating will likely wear off the tuners some time.
Value:
Simply outstanding. Where else can you get a guitar that built to this standard and this beatiful for less that £250.00?
Desirability:
The syling is quite controversial - some people's immediate impression might be that this is a Country and Western guitar. That's just not the case - it's a beautiful, great sounding, great value versatile guitar. If the Gibson version is good enough for Pete Townsend then this Epiphone version is more than good enough for me.
Sound:
Really nice warm, clear sound for picking and a room filling, full bodied sound for strumming. Can't complain for the money.
Ease of Use:
Very easy to play, no buzzing, great tuners for quickly getting in and out of open tunings.
Support:
Epiphone responded on the same day concerning my query above.
I have only just acquired the guitar and it's in excellent order - no warranty issues.
Overall:
I can't see me changing the EJ-200 in a hurry - for less that £250.00 this guitar ticks all the boxes and more.
Buy it, play it and even if you can't play the guitar buy one anyway... just to admire the looks.

Feature:
really a sharp looking guitar. nice appointments and binding and fret work are actually much better than my Epiphone SG Custom. i wish my SG had just as a nice a finish as this guitar. very sturdy, strong guitar. feels like it will last a long time and take a good beating if you travel a lot.
Quality:
seems to be really well put together and finished. had some small minor surface haze in a couple spots on my ebony finished guitar. i am sure the natural finishes wouldn't even show these small blemishes though. black is really tough to keep clean and to keep from scratching.
Value:
pretty good perceived value due to the name, looks and quality.
Desirability:
sex appeal is quite high...one of my deciding factors. to look for a guitar that would be eye catching and still sound and play really well. epiphone typically fits meets this requirement pretty well.
Sound:
immediately changed the strings out for Gibson J200 50/11 set and really improved the mid and high end range of guitar. nice warm bassy low end and not shrill high end makes it an overall very good sounding guitar.
Support:
only emailed the company one time about an electric guitar and received fast response. had to take my electric epiphone in for a switch replacement, but the lifetime warranty helps me relax on this one.
Overall:
would have prefered to have electronics on board as stock equipment for this price range, and to have the action pre-set a little lower.
