Solid Jumbo

A solid torrefied spruce top paired with solid maple back and sides produces the brilliant, distinctive tone expected from a jumbo western guitar. The torrefied (heat-dried) spruce gives the guitar a well-aged tonal character, reminiscent of decades-old vintage instruments, with bright clarity, quick response, and nuanced articulation. Solid maple back and sides enhance defined trebles, add a rich midrange, and contribute to long sustain. Scalloped X bracing increases top flexibility, resulting in a lively resonance and wide dynamic range.

Ergonomic maple neck

The maple neck with a classic C-profile sits comfortably in the hand, providing an ideal balance of substance and playability for smooth chord transitions, expressive picking, and long playing sessions without fatigue. The rosewood fingerboard is finely finished, ensuring a smooth touch and precise response in every position. Gold-plated Epiphone Deluxe tuners guarantee stable tuning and add a touch of elegance. Tone purists will appreciate the compensated bone bridge inlay, which ensures precise intonation across the fretboard while optimizing sound transmission and enhancing the overall playing feel.

Professional pickup system

The L. R. Baggs Element Bronze VTC pickup system delivers an authentic acoustic sound with clarity and warmth. Discreetly integrated into the sound hole, the control panel preserves the guitar’s classic appearance, while intuitive volume and tone knobs allow on-the-fly adjustments. The Element VTC faithfully reproduces playing dynamics, responding instantly to technique nuances and enhancing the guitar’s natural tone without distortion.

Vintage sunburst Finish with traditional elements

The sophisticated vintage sunburst finish radiates timeless elegance and vintage character. A tortoise pickguard with engraved floral motifs pays homage to the original 1930s design, reflecting Epiphone’s attention to detail and craftsmanship. Mother-of-pearl graduated crown inlays sweep across the rosewood fingerboard, completing the visual appeal. The Epiphone SJ-200 Reissue is not just a guitar to be heard it is a guitar to be seen, combining style, authenticity, and performance in one iconic instrument.
