espgnlo Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Well after months of contemplation I finally did it! I ordered a new Gibson J-200 Sunburst! I placed the order with Jon at My Favorite Guitars this afternoon. What great people to deal with. I would highly recommend them to anyone here. I thought after getting my Hummingbird last November I was done. But...I wonder if reading this forum was any encouragement? The only thing missing from my herd was a maple guitar. I decided hey...I might as well go top of line. Unfortunately we are about 3 weeks out until they can ship it. Can you tell I'm excited? When the new guitar comes I'll try to get some pics out! I just wanted to share my excitement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Good call! Now, you just need to weed some of those Taylors out of your herd to make way for even more Gibsons...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espgnlo Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Ha-Ha! You're probably right! Man I'm liking Gibsons! After I finally got to try out a J-200 it sealed the deal, I knew it was time to move. Hope others will back my decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Congrats on the new J200. Big sound machine. .........There's no end to buying guitars. Couldn't count the number of times I've figured that I had all the guitars I needed. Since mid-June I've bought a Gibson AJ and a J15, and now I'm in the market for an American Eagle or another small body. .......Enjoy the ride!........almost forgot--picked-up a used HD28 about a month ago. Finally got a Martin back in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lee Walker_ Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Back in 2005 my collection peaked at 37 guitars. I decided to thin the herd and went thru a 2-year period of selling, trading, donating, and whittling down the wood to make room in my small home studio. I told myself to keep only the essential guitars that I needed. By 2008 I had downsized to 10 instruments and I told myself I didn't need any other guitars. But, they keep making them! Therein lies the problem. Now I am back up to 28 guitars and contemplating the purchase of a new Western Classic. Where will it end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 . Ah yes . . . the J-200 . . . my personal favorite. Nice choice. You'll need a couple more Gibbies to balance out those Taylors. Looking forward to some pics when she arrives. Congrats. . B) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannusguy2 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Congratulations! Hanging around here has absolutely NOTHING to do with wanting/buying more guitars! We're all paragons of self-control! Pics when you get it, please. BTW, Jon Garon down there at MFG is good people all the way. He's a couple of hours away from me but I'm afraid of what I'd come home with if I went down there since he's become a Gibson dealer. Here's mine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMELEYE Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Savor that anticipation! A local dealer only a scant 10 minute drive from right here as I sit and type just got a new 'burst J-200 in. I'm off for a visit tomorrow with my J-45 to decide if I need to own two Gibson tone monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espgnlo Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 I take it my fellow forum members think I should get another Gibson to balance things out. Well never say never. Except I probably should wait for my new one to come until I plan my next. It looks like I'll be in some good company with other fellow SJ-200 owners. I can't say enough about how I have been treated so far by My Favorite Guitars. They do what they say and are nice people besides. I wish I only live a couple of hours away like jannusguy2, I'd definitely check out their store and get to know them better in person. And believe me cameleye I am savoring the anticipation till that nice brown or white truck makes a stop in front of my door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
