The body depth on the J29 is the same as the J15 J35 J45 and AJ. The new/reissue J35 and J29 came out at around the same time 2013 I think. The biggest difference is the scale length and the quality of the rosewood. I've played a couple J29 and for the price they where both very nice sounding guitars But being short scale you won't get the volume you will get from an AJ.

Hi Steve the year of your SJ 200 will be the 1st and 5th digit of the serial number. the 2 3 4 numbers are the day of the year your guitar was built and the last 3 numbers indicate what guitar it was that day. On Gibson's web site the show the 2022 SJ 200 as a 4 bar mustache.

March 16 2010 so you just missed your guitars 10 birthday by a couple of week

If your house is at 47% why are you humidifing your guitar? Gibson recommends 45 to 50% so you are right in the sweet spot.

According to the serial number and the Made in USA on the back of the head stock it's a 1974 or 75 ksdaddy is correct it should have a Dove style bridge and the label should be printed. https://images.reverb.com/image/upload/s--8gMbP0Ec--/f_auto,t_large/v1554283684/rckljbqzancdhhchmofp.jpg The pick guard looks like a Alvarez J 200 Copy from the 70's

The slim taper has a 12 inch Radius Fret board and the Advanced Responce has a 16 inch Radius Fret Board. Flatter like a Martin. Both have a 1.725 nut but the flatter fretboard fell wider to me even though they're the same width. The J 45 studio has the 16 inch radius neck. All the specs are on Gibsons website.

Always liked Gibson guitars my first was a '79 Les Paul bought new in '79. Started playing more acoustic than electric in the 80 and always wanted a Gibson acoustic. Took until 2013 to get my first a J 35 the a year later a 1947 L 48 came my way for a deal I couldn't pass on. I've alway thought Taylors were for Choir Boys, Martins were for Good Ol' Boys and Gibsons were for Bad Boys. I don't play in church and don't play blue grass. Rock and Roll all the way.

Another Hercules Guitar stand fan here. I have a double stand and 2 wall hangers. Both my Gibsons have been hanging in these stands and hangers for years. My 2013 J 35 has been in either the wall hanger or stand since it was new and has had no ill effects.

Nitro take months to cure fully but that's good news for you. A good luthier should be able to buff it out. This should be a good leason for everyone who is purchasing a new nitro finished guitar (this includes Martin) Never leave a capo on or leave it in a stand for extended periods of time for at least 2 or three months.

Post like this make me laugh. Do you like your wages or would you like to be paid in 1935 dollars? Maybe you'd rather have Gibson take away any benefits they pay their employees, holiday pay or sick leave so you can buy a new Gibson for $800. While you're at it you could do the same to the Canadian loggers who cut and haul the spruce fore the tops. Who needs health care it just make guitar cost more. While your taking away benefits from worker you better ask the government to lower the amount of taxes taken off theis pay check. Or you could just buy a guitar you can afford.

You can learn a lot from old ads. What more do you need to know Gibson Aes Classic (1992) Acoustic / electric, cherry finish, double bound 15-7/8" body, Venetian cutaway, spruce top, maple back and sides, mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, dot inlays, 20 frets, rosewood bridge, Gibson pickup / preamp system, vintage style tuners, 1-11/16" nut, 24-3/4" scale,

How long have you had the SJ200? You'll most likely have a tan line where the pick guard covered the guitar. If you haven't had the guitar long it may not be very noticeable and catch up in color over the summer. If the tan line is really prominent it may never catch up to match the rest of the top.

As much as I hate to mention it. Justin Bieber. Not exclusive but own and records with a few Gordon lightfot.

Here's a shoot of my 1947 L 48. The FON # is right under the upper F hole. 4 digit number stamped in black ink and a 2 digit number in read pencil right after it. Sent off an email to Gibson Customer service I think the same email posted here in the second post and received all the help need to figure out the year.
