This is exactly what I wish every other comparison video was like! PS : I want both ! Now if only he could compare the sunburst J -45 with a black J -45. !!!
The difference is mahogany generally vs maple and size , I prefer mahogany and the j45 plus it’s smaller and more comfortable to me, it’s called the workhorse for a reason! Great video I love my j45
Fortunate to have both, but as mentioned somewhere, its not down to which is best. For focus/directness I play the 45, and for openness across the range, I play the 200. (Personal preference is the 200).
Just bought my third 200 in wine red….just love them. Dont have a 45 it i was lucky enough to buy an Epiphone Texan paul Macca replica of his 64 Texan personally signed and a custom shop Hummingbird 2001. Have 2 great Martins bur there is a magic when you pick good Gibsons. Personally i would go for the 200 all day.
Good video! I learned that the Samson C02 is a great mic to use for acoustic guitars. Good to know! As for the guitars, they're very different. I already have a J-45 and I love that guitar. The SJ-200 is just one of those beautiful guitars I'll probably never own. 😎👍
Video I was looking for! First of all briliant comparison! Second of all this shootout has so much sence. I think lots of people (me included) have this dilema. I have Martin D35 and in my ears J45 is more like it. SJ 200 is a legend and has so different sound! I must have it :)❤
⚓️ Thanks Fernando 😎 Aug ‘22, I got a ‘14 Epiphone J-45 model ‘63 VS… Craigslist $100… what a find!!! In super great shape. Though my beginner abilities will not in any way approach your tone, this guitar is so good. The reason it was $100…. In San Francisco, the previous owner’s house was air conditioned, the guitar sounded like a ukulele 🥸 I was horrified, my apt is not air conditioned, two weeks with no air conditioning > new guitar 😎 sounds great 🎸 the best beginner deal ever ⚓️ Thanks, I just found your channel. Great videos. I can follow along & practice . Regards 😎
Great! I love epiphone acoustics. A friend of mine has a masterbild and it sounds perfect. I’ve tried to purchase from him several times, but he always decline :))
Every video I watch that does this same comparison, I get the same result. I "want" the J200 to sound bigger/better because I love the look more, but the J45 and the plain'o dreadnought shape sounds so much better. Wahi' Valleys
A good way to do a comparison video. My only beef is with the player. He has such a light/delicate picking hand. I want to also hear how these 2 guitars sound when you really dig in and rattle those strings.
Both guitars sound good ,the difference is the Price the 200 is a more blinky and i like the sound of the 200 but not only in this comparrison in generall i like it more then Martin,santa cruz , or some Guitar like Trigger 😀etc so that the reason why i i have one and don`t wan´t 😀a other
If the SJ didn't have that stupid mustache bridge I would say sj all day. I compared epiphone j45 and sj200 versus gibsons in a gibson store in Nashville. The j45 held up but the sj200 sounded so cheap a true gibson sj200 is all that would do.
This is so good because instead of several minutes with one guitar before changing, the comparisons are more quickly identified.
Thanks!
@@fernandinomusic Nice Playing And Demo
I have both as well, both are amazing! You can’t go wrong with either guitar
That’s a great video. Simple, compares the two guitars by changing the styles of playing. Really helped!
Thanks!!
You have two magnificent sounding Gibsons. Thanks for the video.
Love that, the best way to compare tone.
Awesome comparison and awesome playing. Hope to have both someday. Greetings from Galicia, northwest Spain
Thank you very much!

Great video, differences in sound of each guitar are easy to hear, and also the sound quality is perfect. Thanks.
Thank you!!

SJ200 sounds much better..... Full in all acoustic range...... Clear winner....
J200 for me , actually thought it would be a more difficult decision.
Good video!

Yeah, it’s a great mic, you can use alone or in pair. Works very well!
Does this mic work also as a live performing tool?

Man! Excellent video. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
SJ 200 is more rich tone and sound more than J45..great sound for fingerpicking and strumming..love gibson SJ 200 guitar..beutiful sunburst..
For strumming SJ-200 , everything else J-45
Violões incriveis, impossivel escilher um dos dois rs. Parabéns pelo videos, comparação cirurgica entre dois classicos!

They are both great sounding My 46 j45 sounds better,though,as it’s nearly 80 years old.
I love my Takamine. But thank you for showing us.

A guitar that looks like the 200 but sounds like the 45 would win every shootout.
The difference is about 2k.
J200 more open, j45 more focused; both special guitar!!!!!!!!
I agree!
j45 all day, j200 sounds tinny on the account of maple back and sides, j45 more focused and easier to sing over
steel string acoustic players and their weird phobia of maple
@@MonkeyButt5000 Not Cat Stevens
"Tinny" Holy shit! J200s have a great top end...very airy and hi-fi sounding. In the studio they can sweeten up a track like a J-45 can't.
SJ200, no doubt.
nice, thanks
Is the J200 Rosewood, or Maple?
Spruce top, maple back and sides
MAPLE.
I think the J200 sounds deeper and more bass.The J45 a little brighter.
What strings are you using on Sj-200？
Elixir Phosphor Bronze 12-53
@@fernandinomusic Thank you ! :P
J-45 pra mim. Fodaço!
To me nothing like a Gibson not even a Martin just me though😜
The workhorse for sure
It's a great guitar!
wow
45. It’s a runaway
J 200
J45
SJ-200 wins
Always a J-200 guy….
Sj200
Fingerpick j45 best
If the SJ didn't have that stupid mustache bridge I would say sj all day. I compared epiphone j45 and sj200 versus gibsons in a gibson store in Nashville. The j45 held up but the sj200 sounded so cheap a true gibson sj200 is all that would do.
