The Standard model is the best version of the J200 aside from the prewar rosewood ones imo. Its thinner than the 50s model (not as thin as the studio) and less boomy, much more balanced. They used this same slightly thinner "Standard" body for the Epi Masterbilt models as well which sound incredible. Unfortunately the SJ200 Standard I bought new in 2016 had an overset neck from the factory, major ugh, and Gibson wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. Go figure. Love the guitar post-neck reset, but I'm completely soured on the Gibson brand after that experience and now play Guild F50Rs almost exclusively. cheers
The first guitar from the video has neck underset, look at that saddle.
All good, and very well demo’d.
With price and availability being factors, the Epiphones win this.
I have the Gibson Ron Wood SJ200 tobacco triple burst and added a LR Baggs active iBeam pickup.
No complaints.
I call it Sweet Thang ✨🎵✨
My favorite accustic Guitar is a Gretsch 6022 Rancher, but when i wanna play old Country with my Friends, i take my old J-200 out of the Coffin, cause she has the old smooth Sound of old Country -songs. I think that the Standard does it well !
Nice video Sam.
that 67, wowwwwwww!!!!
Dang! Why do always pick the most expensive guitars?
So yes, it has to be the late 60's J200, not just for the incredible vibe, but the sound, it's all there, all pure J200. George Harrison played one on the Let it Be sessions, except I believe his had the ceramic height-adjustable saddle.
Two which I would have LOVED to have been included in this comparison are the Sigma models, one with solid back and sides, the other laminated, both sold tops.
I currently own one of these and actually play it more than the Gibson J200 I once owned. A very warm, even tone, fabulous for the big country chords, and not overpowering for vocal accompaniment. Also made to very high specs.
Thanks for doing this video of these dream acoustics.
Hey I have a full solid Sigma too. Yes I absolut love it.
Thank you!
Jeff Beck used one on his seminal album ‘Truth’ playing Greensleeves.
Nice video, thanks for this. Rather unconventional mic placement. I think the low end suffers as a result.
Cant beat the Standard
1967 has less headstock angle (as did all Gibsons from 1965 to circa 1982), hence the mid-scoop - and less articulation. the tune-o-matic in the bridge doesn't help either. it's pretty sad what Norlin era did to that otherwise gorgeous tonewoods. my vote would be the Studio for accompaniment, the Standard for solo fingerstyle work.
The Everly Brothers brought me here.
I tried a few J-200 circa year 2000 and I thought the sound was too thin, not projecting enough compared, say to Larrivée, Taylor and Martin
until, I put my hand on a J-200 custom shop, highly flame maple, cant remember the top but maybe AD and that was sthing else. I should have buy it... still regret it...
1967 for the win!
Sorry, rosewood is not this what makes a J 200 sound. The Maple gives their sound the spirit.
But it does sound better to a lot of people.
@@CenterThePendulum May be, but so much people are impressed to the sound of my maple J200. The clarity of a maple/ sruce Jumbo is unique. Furtunately there are so many different guitars on the marked.
J-200 EC vs J200 Epiphone?
it would have been really nice if you played the same thing on every guitar
Chances are you’re watching this video on your phone anyways there’s no way the tiny speakers do any of these guitars justice so it wouldn’t matter if he played exactly the same thing or not. Really have to go and put one in your hands and try it for yourself in order to fully appreciate each one.
Mance Lipscomb fingerpicked a SJ200
THIS IS SO Beautiful J-200 GIBSON GUITAR
Pinball Wizard....
THE SADDLE HEIGHT ON THE FIRST J_200 IS DISGUSTING!!!!! IMAGINE WHEN THE NECK MOVES OVER TIME AND YOU NEED TO LOWER THE SADDLE TO COMPENSATE, THEN YOU CAN NOT, BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY SADDLE LEFT TO PLAY WITH.
Good thing best tone lives in high action.
That G-200 is a shame of Gibson.
Whats up with demos,the guitars are beautiful,but listen to your style of playing,you bash the strings,what the heck man
Looks cool. Sounds like shit
