10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 50 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 50 days to 180 days (terms apply after 50 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

View Full Description

Thermally aged Sitka spruce top

The Epiphone 1957 SJ-200 features a thermally aged solid Sitka spruce top, a process that artificially replicates the aging of wood to deliver the sound and appearance of an older instrument. This ageing process enhances the wood’s natural resonance and stability, providing a richer, more mature tone right out of the box. The result is a sound that rivals that of a well-seasoned guitar, ideal for both professional performances and studio recordings.

Solid figured maple construction

Constructed from solid figured maple for the back, sides, and neck, this guitar offers exceptional sound clarity and volume. The dense maple wood contributes to a bright, sharp tone with excellent sustain, making it perfect for a variety of musical styles. The striking visual pattern of the figured maple not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also reflects the quality of the materials used, ensuring that each guitar is unique in both appearance and sound.

Advanced electronics

Outfitted with an L.R. Baggs VTC preamp and under-saddle pickup, the SJ-200 is equipped for both acoustic and amplified playing. This advanced electronic system is designed to capture the true acoustic essence of the guitar, delivering natural tones without distortion or loss of quality. The soundhole mounted volume and tone controls allow for easy adjustments during performance, making it a versatile choice for gigging musicians.

Iconic design elements

The Epiphone 1957 SJ-200 retains the classic aesthetics that have made the Gibson SJ-200 a beloved icon. The guitar features the famous J-200 open moustache bridge and an engraved celluloid pickguard, both distinctive elements that contribute to its stylish look. The headstock is adorned with the traditional Gibson “open book” shape and a mother-of-pearl crown, alongside the Epiphone logo, celebrating the guitar's rich legacy and continued craftsmanship.
