Thanks. That helps. Yes, that is I think what I have narrowed it down to: no Martin (at this point) and no Taylor, don't want to make this more complicated by exploring other brands, J45 is my favorite type of sound so far, Gibson short scale and neck feels "at home" (for an acoustic), I like the look of the newer models, not the banner or the old style font, I need a good pickup system (I'm fine with the factory installed one, sounds good enough for my needs), would prefer a white nut and more traditional tuners though instead of the Grovers on the Standard.

Again, I think there is a 2005 model from the Custom Shop that I'm curious about but haven't been able to locate yet (and other than the Martin1940 dude thinks there aren't really that many brick and mortar guitar stores left around here).

Go with a J 200.  In my opinion the best overall Gibson Acoustic.  

[How much does your 335 weigh?]

I have an 02 Gibson ES 335 Dot reissue.  Over 9 pounds.  like 9.6 pounds. Had it weighed at GC.   I believe it was accurate    Although the kid weighing it seemed like an Extra from the Dazed and Confused movie

 

It is heavier than a 2006 Gibson es 335 For reissue I Had years ago and sold because the neck was too thin (Thinner than your average slim taper neck) but it sounded great.          I prefer the lighter ES 335.     My current ES 335 is too heavy at over 9 pounds.      The sound a playability are perfect 

 

Does anyone know the best way to get an accurate weight on your guitar  ?
