Now, I wouldn’t categorize either acoustic as warm-sounding, because there is a definitive high-end crispness on both that reveals their newness. According to a 2008 MF catalog I happened to save, at that time there was a 'Modern Classic' version of the J-200 with a cutaway. And it’ll be no surprise that this J-45 might be the enduring favorite among strummers and fingerpickers with its effluence of low-mids that truly shape its punchy voice. The lower bout was a monstrous 17 3/8' wide and the back and sides were curly. The good folks at Epiphone decided their new model would be called the FT-210 (10 more than the J-200) Deluxe Cutaway. The visual elements have always been a big part of the J-200s appeal, and the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson J-200 includes a Moustache. Gibsons big fancy J-200 model was the target to beat. In contrast to the noble J-200, the J-45 has less snobby appeal with bourgeois looks, folksy playability and a stripped-down resonant tone. Featuring a Super Jumbo non-cutaway solid figured maple body, solid Sitka spruce top, and two-piece maple neck with a mahogany center strip, the Epiphone J-200 is built with all solid woods for outstanding tone. With its Cadillac proportions and ornate appointments, the J-200 is undoubtedly the showstopper of the two, commanding authority with its booming, woody voice and wonderfully set-up low action. This Inspired by Gibson Epiphone features a cutaway Super Jumbo body with select maple back and sides, solid spruce top for outstanding tone, a smooth-playing hard maple neck with a SlimTaper D profile, pau ferro fretboard, 20 medium jumbo frets, and classy pearloid crown inlays. The high-gloss tackiness that plagues most budget guitars is now replaced by a soft and supple aged finish that whole-heartedly contributes to an inviting playing feel. The J-200 EC pays homage to the King of the Flattops - the classic Gibson SJ-200. Perfect for unleashing your inner Pete Townshend For a large bodied instrument, this J-200 is extremely comfortable to hold. It’ll be no surprise that this J-45 might be the enduring favorite among strummers and fingerpickers with its effluence of low-mids that truly shape its punchy voice We just received this amazing 1994 Gibson J-200 Deluxe, and it is spectacular With punchy, focused low end and a boatload of top end chime, this guitar excels at big rhythm parts and bold single note playing.
Despite the striking resemblance to the original models, one of the best and most palpable attributes both acoustics share is the aged gloss finish. The “Inspired by Gibson” handle for the J-45 and J-200 is apropos here, because to my eyes, Epiphone went to great lengths in authentically recreating the over-all vibe and aesthetic of these iconic acoustics.
