BluesKing777 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 My luthier recommends the Baggs Anthem, as do Lowden. I saw this video in my trawling: And here is another clip with just the baggs Anthem on a black SJ200! BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 my J200 has the Anthem, it works really good, but there's a few things to note. 1: the output isn't very strong, my fishman pickups have quite a bit more output. 2: the volume and blend wheels (which are mountined inside the sound hole) can create some vibrations with certain notes at times. If you touch the wheels, when striking those notes, it stops. Minor annoyance, as it will only happen if I'm driving the top hard. 3: Battery life is about half that of a fishman matrix. Over all though it is a great sounding setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Baggs anthem is a well thought of pickup My pal had one alongside me His was a mcilroy I had a Martin hd35 with a k&k pure mini ultra and I liked my pickup better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Here at the shop I go to, the Anthem is $579 to buy and more to install and the Gibson SJ200 is $7495! BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 To be really honest i found the tone to be very disappointing. Harsh and quacky is what im hearing. The fishman mattix infinity and Spectrum DI is much fuller, smoother and warm sounding to my ears. Its probably just my personal taste but ive never come acrosd a Baggs product that impressed me.

The prices of Gibson acoustics in Australia are beyond ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you listen to the black SJ200? I didn't mind the sound of that. I think people think the Aura box looks too hard and get confused, EA. Then buy something like the Anthem in a guitar and just point and shoot (camera term, not gun.). BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 The prices of Gibson acoustics in Australia are beyond ridiculous. Tell me about it! That price is their sell price too - should see the retail! (I bought my 2 used Lowdens and the custom - all 3 handbuilt guitars - for about the price of the SJ200 here.) Still wouldn't mind black J200 but.... BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
