Gibson SJ-200 Comparison - SJ-200 Original vs. 1957 SJ-200 Reissue

[@johnwashburn3793]

Both sound good, but I agree that the custom shop was preferable to my ears. Thank you.

Thanks for your feedback! Glad you like my video. :)

Can never warm to the sound of those artificially aged tops - thanks for a great demo and comparison.

I actually bought one recently. I wouldn't say it sounds older but different. I doubt I will buy another, but I ran into a deal.

@@johnwashburn3793 also had a few come and go. But maybe we just didn’t find the right one yet ✌️

Thank you! Well, there´s a noticable difference between both guitars. Owning a 1989 J-200 myself, I must say the Reissue model definitely captures the character of a played-in, well-aged guitar.

Red doch mal deutsch oder ist Aschaffenburg neuerdings anglo-amerikanisch?

Wenn man Gitarren international verkauft, muss man die Videos für jeden verständlich gestalten. 😉

@@guitarplaceaschaffenburg465 Dann mal viel Erfolg beim internationalen Verkauf.
