Sunburst Epiphone EJ-200 – Another left-handed conversion
Sunburst EJ-200
Another EJ-200 lefty conversion, this one in sunburst.
These really are cracking acoustic guitars with bags of tone and volume.
This example (sourced from Thomann) has much better neck angle than most so I was able to get a low action with plenty of height left on the saddle.
I’m thinking that I really should figure out a way to recreate the pickguard design – CNC milling maybe?
Hi Steve,
Got the guitar this afternoon, it looks (and sounds) great – really pleased with it.
Thanks a lot for doing the conversion – it’s a great birthday present.
I would be more than happy to recommend your services to anyone who might be interested
Thanks again
Richard
Hi Steve, I’m looking at having the exact same conversion done, can you tell what it will cost and the time frame involved?
Regards
Ben
Hi Ben. Conversion costs £150 including parts and takes a day or two.
Thanks Steve
Hi when you remove the right hand pickguard is there not a mark there? I have one too and I’m a lefty! Thanks
If the guitar isn’t new then there’s generally a shadow left as the surrounding wood will have darkened slightly from exposure to light. I think this fades eventually.
