Models and variations of the Epiphone EJ-200

Should you buy a new or pre-owned Epiphone EJ-200?
An affordable Epiphone EJ-200 is not hard to come by due to the high number of new and used models on eBay. Still, there are some significant differences between buying new and buying pre-owned. For many guitarists, a “broken in” or pre-played acoustic is the only way to go as they feel the guitar will look and sound like it has more “personality.” Others will prefer to develop that personality by purchasing the guitar new and breaking it in themselves. Either way, the Epiphone EJ-200 is a low-budget, big-sounding acoustic designed to perform well on the stage or in the studio.
