Product Description
About this Artist JMZ200CEQ Solid Sitka Top Acoustic-Electric with Preamp
The Artist JMZ200CEQ is a great quality, solid-top acoustic guitar that looks, feels and sounds amazing. Featuring a solid Sitka Spruce top, Laminated Zebrawood back and sides, a captivating gloss finish and bevelled edges, this guitar won't disappoint.
The Sitka Spruce top generates a broad dynamic range, accomodating multiple different styles, from aggressive strumming to fingerpicking. As a guitar top, Sitka Spruce is the tonewood standard of the modern era. The zebrawood back and sides provide a fuller sound with darker tones.
As with all of our solid top range, it includes real bone nut for optimum tone transfer. The density of the bone gives the string a solid basis to vibrate against, whereas plastic nuts are often very soft and this can be a cause of tone loss.
The Fishman Presys II pre-amp and built-in chromatic tuner mean that you can plug this guitar in for live performance or recording.

The finish of this product is absolutely superb, laminated zebrawood provides a beautiful contrast to the lighter Sitka spruce top. The tone is rich and full, you won't be disappointed with this guitar. Well done to the artist team.

Artist JMZ200CEQ Solid Sitka Top Acoustic-Electric
Watched a lot of YouTube showing off electric-acoustic guitars, but this review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pglmv7WRGfw sold me on this guitar. It is a beautifully finished instrument, and the tone through the Fishman pickup is wonderful. This instrument is unbeatable for the price.

Fabulous JMZ200CEQ
I decided to take up the guitar again after 20 + years now in retirement and came across Artist Guitars online. I liked one of their beginner packs (LSPSCEQBK ) but because their showroom wasn't up and running at the new Warehouse couldn't actually see one, but decided to go ahead and order anyway. I picked up the guitar from their Warehouse and happily played the guitar for about a month, however being a beginners guitar I felt this really wasn't the guitar for me, and was looking to upgrade to a guitar with a little more quality. I spotted JMZ200CEQ , liked the review and what I saw on the review and decided that this was the guitar I was looking for. I was going to put the Artist Guitars 100 day return guarantee to the test.I rang Matt on the Saturday morning , had a friendly chat and emailed him all the details. No problem, Matt said, we just want you to be happy with the guitar you purchase from Artist Guitars, and by the end of the morning had arranged for me to go in Monday afternoon,exchange guitars and pickup the JMZ200CEQ. So far so good. I thought it would be a good idea to shoot off a quick email Monday morning to let them know that I was definitely coming in the afternoon and Molly worked out all the details gave me a return authorisation number and the credit I would be due( I kept the amp and the lead from the beginner pack) In the afternoon Rory, handled the exchange in a courteous and efficient way and made sure I had everything I needed and we opened up the guitar to have a look. I was gobsmacked, this guitar is just stunning ,beautiful solid spruce sitka top, Zebra Wood sides and back, high gloss finish beveled edges.The photos online do not do this guitar justice. I was more than impressed. This guitar has a beautiful warm sound, easy to play, made some minor adjustments to lower the action a little. Daddario,strings feel good,and Fishman,tuner pre amp ,nice. I'm enjoying playing this guitar and feel this is definitely the right choice for me. Thank you Artist Guitars you have lived up to your 100 day return guarantee with fantastic service( often promised but never delivered). Thanks to Matt,Molly and Rory ,for great customer service and making the whole process easy and seamless,( I was really expecting a glitch somewhere along the way) I can highly recommend Artist Guitars, and will recommend them every opportunity I can. I look forward to seeing their showroom up in action (had I seen the JMZ200CEQ, I probably wouldn't have gone with the beginner guitar) see more of their impressive range. Thanks again Artist Guitars and team, continued success to you.

Excellent for the price
Recently purchased this guitar from the bargain bin. Action was decent out of the box however I did set it up myself as I like the action low. The nut was cut very well, I didn’t have the touch it. I did notice the high E string wasn’t coming through very loud when plugged in and I realised this was due to a thin shim placed in the saddle slot which made the saddle not sit quite square. I removed the shim and this solved the problem. In terms of the sound this guitar is quite well balanced and has decent volume acoustically, and the neck feels surprisingly nice. Overall can’t go wrong with this guitar given the price point. Highly recommend
