Gibson j 200 acoustic
Kind of wanting to move away from the Epi copies to Gibby's with all but my Casino and maybe Texan Epi's. I own an Epi EJ-200CE and it plays just like an electric, but I just don't feel it has all the sound I'm looking for (not a great amount of volume or low end for such a BIG guitar). I'm intrigued with the J-200 style guitar. again as I've been laying very low for a LONG time. You should play anything guitar you're considering purchasing so you can evaluate it according to you're own tastes. The sound/tone is a bit variable to say the least. Regarding sound and playability: To my tastes, the playability is pretty even across the models. The 200 Custom usually adds rosewood back, abalone inlay next to the body binding and around the soundhole, as well as using abalone inlays in place of the MOP inlays. The 200 Standard has the crown markers, neck and headstock binding, MOP bridge inlays, and the decorated pickguard. The 200 Studio has the crown markers, a moustache bridge with no MOP inlay and a plain tortoise. The 150 has the crown markers, MOP bridge inlays, a the decorated pickguard, but no neck and headstock binding. The 100 has mahogany sides, and the 100 Xtra has maple sides and crown markers. Some 100's have dot markers and some have crown markers, both without neck and headstock binding, no MOP bridge inlays and a plain pickguard. Most are spruce top with maple back and sides. Zomby answered your SJ/J question nicely.Īs to the bling factor, that's in the model number: There's a 100, a 150, a 200, a 200 Custom and variations on the Custom (like the Vine). Is the SJ just an alleged upgraded/blinged version?.
