Mahogany back and sides. It was Normal. I had a few of those. I would price it no differently than a used J45.

I was at his place last Aug He is doing fine. Talked to him last week. I think hes ready for some warm weather. Us up north keep sending him snow. 😁 as for the J50 ya. They did do dark sides with a lighter back. Ive had a few of those.

Reverb did get expensive. I left ebay long ago. There cash grab was way to much.

I wonder at times if My F4 and harp guitar were handled by Orville at some point

Ya. But guild has handcrafted labels as well. On plywood guitars. So I guess there should be no reason for Gibson USA to complain about all those fake les pauls out there someone one was inspired by the US versions. 😁

To be honest. It is a nice looking guitar. Something different but has a good look to it. If I was on the hunt for another acoustic. I would consider one of these.

Wonder what the list is? 4 ish?

L12 archtops were not around for very long. If its in Nice shape. And solid. The price is right. Get it.

I use D addarios on all my acoustics. They work just fine.

I nominate you for a Oscar. 😁

I think Ive maybe had 6 acoustics that required truss rod adjustments .considering the amount of guitars here. Not a bad average. More of the set ups were on the nuts and saddles .

It seems to be a problem on most of the acoustics. I have 4 that have those flopping around inside

It was actually more than that.

The Rose was a Centennial Full size The one model I did not buy. I was to focused on Custom Shop built AJs and SJ200s aside from the 11 Centennial acoustics. Then I did buy a Monarch and a Presentation I tapped out for a couple years after that. 😀

If the J200 is set up properly. The scale short length idea will be forgotten. I have quite a few J200s. They are very easy to play. I dont have a issue with finger picking those either
