I got one of these and it plays like butter and sounds amazing, Best SJ-200 I've owned and super happy 😎
Rosewood gives you crisper tones which I like.
I'm not always a rosewood fan but my SJ-200 Parlor has rosewood back and sides and it is the nicest sound I have ever heard out of a guitar.
Gibson is beating Martin & Taylor to the punch. I traded 2 Martin’s for a J45 & an AG Parlor Rosewood and I LOVE THESE GUITARS. The frets are finished by a Plek machine and they’re PERFECT. Gibson is doing some great Acoustic Guitar making in Bozeman.
Great to hear this.
Martin is better than Gibson just facts
Clausy Bernard No - that’s called an “opinion” - not a “fact”
Nope facts do your research
@@3cardmonty602 The other guy is prob not a guitarist, and if he is, not a very good one...let it be, he'll learn.
wow wow wow, what a lovely thing, G's historic collection is looking sooo good.
Astonishingly beautiful sound and looks.
Nice Guitar but need to win the Lotto to be able to afford it.
Been searching for a demo of this model...thank you for the review : )
I have a1950 SJ-200 N.
Very nice demo. Love the sound of this SJ200. Thanks guys!
my dream guitar...
Been waiting for a review. I preordered this end of May from a competitor solely due to financing terms at that moment in time, now July 18th, still no idea when it will arrive. Can't freakn wait !! Thank you so much for this and your entire series of reviews.
How much was it brother?
And has it come yet? Do you love it?
@@Steven-Duffy I received it and it was gorgeous, absolutely stunning; however after living with it for a few weeks, it didn't feel like the guitar I'd reach for often enough to justify the expense. It's very large and the neck is as well. I wanted something that played like butter and sounded dynamic but would chime as well. I ended up replacing it with a Martin D-42 and after a few months can tell you, for me personally, it was the better choice.
@@Terrapinonline Is it a thick neck? Body isn’t a issue since I prefer the jumbo body, but the neck comment made worry a bit since I just pre-ordered one
@@ferminharris3826 From memory, thick may not of been the right word as much as wide. Take my comments with a grain of salt. I've been playing a Martin D-28 for over 40 years, so it may just of not felt familiar and was far more comfortable with the D-42. It was an absolutely stunning guitar and wish I could of afforded both; likely over time I would of felt differently; but it was a huge leap financially for me, so my nervousness around that may of played into it. Please, let me know your feelings after you have her in your arms. Don't be discouraged by my comment; it's an amazing instrument, just a personal thing as you know.
Great review. Love the rosewood and most of all that big tone response!
What a great voice!!
THAT is some nice guitar
beautiful guitar.
👍 Fantastic Guitar and well played, as usual 👍
Awesome guitar!
Maybe for my 6,500th birthday.
Now that's the Lamborghini of acoustic guitars!
Ricardo Sotosan no that’s the cadillac of guitars 🎸 it’s more for older people,now taylor’s are the Lamborghini of guitars made for speed and modern playing and young players
The prewar SJ200s were also made with Indian Rosewood. So this guitar is pretty close to the original...
GIBSON 👏🏻 HUMMINGBIRD 👏🏻 1960 👏🏻
Dudes, I got a 1940 J 55 for $250.00!!! It needs work but still a deal.
Absolutely GORGEOUS guitar! Might have to get rid of the wife in order to afford this one!
The university needs to give Quinton a raise so he can buy a guitar. Maybe Paul can give him a discount, too!
With Doc's pedigree, career position(s), etc. I don't believe he's quite feeling the squeeze on compensation. Now the discounts are a different matter!
However, those discounts might get Quinton in another kind of squeeze at home due to GAS ;-)
@@DJWRailroad I'm aware of his position and his salary is public record. Both of my comments were tongue in cheek. I don't see him getting a raise in these trying times, and any discounts are between Paul and him.
As you guys have had lots of j200s in stock over the years and clearly love them (as I do), which of the j200 models has the very deepest bass and richest tone: this Pre-war rosewood, Western Classic or another?
Ebony fretboard too, I suppose. Pretty much like my Guild JF55 which is anything but light, the truth is, but sounds just as great. A good thing too, because I will never again be able to afford anything so expensive.
man would I did THAT guitar. big...and IRW. I have an old Guild F50R which is close, the loudest cannon I own and maybe the best-sounding. But it's not a J200 rosewood.
Sounds fantastic but it better do for nearly 5g...I'm guessing this is the most top of the line 200 you can buy?
Someday
I've nicknamed mine boomer!
How is it?? How’s the neck? I’m interested in buying it, but I heard the neck is a put off and uncomfortable
Guitar Nice.
Fantastic guitar!!! Awesome sound!!
What is the price?

The pickguard does not look right. The colors are off from an orignal I think.
How’s the neck on this model?
Just wondering why Quinton mostly "noodles" and rarely plays identifiable songs in his demos?
We let Quinton play whatever he's inspired to play on each particular instrument. In many cases, the "noodling" is his way of getting to know the guitar. it's also a great way to showcase the sound as there's typically a good mix of strums, single notes, and dynamic strumming. Re your request: we'll get him to add a few more recognizable songs too! thanks for watching.
I really appreciate your reply! Thanks...
@@TheAcousticLetter It's very nice to see where a guitar leads a player when it's allowed to drive. It's also nice to hear something familiar to learn how it translates what we know. IMO, any sort of combination works as long as there's a dose of each.
I hear that 6th string resonance seems dull....
Play good u dont play good to stiff n'ont pro not beautiful u nlt inspiré to buy
