I own both, early 2000's production. Between the two I prefer the Super Jumbo as it has a more balanced, lush tone which is simply perferct for strumming. I also like it a lot for figner picking. If you like a thicker bass, bottom end than the Dove should be a strong consideration.

If I don't get the NG 150 and keep my SJ-200, I have been looking at picking up a blonde J-150...yours sounds sweet! There is a decent example of a 2001 on reverb for 2700 in mint condition.
Id look at it. I found J150 / 200's built between 2001-2005 to have an amazingly consistent strong tone. No idea why but they really shine from that period.

I paid $1500 for my blond J-150 and it is at the top of my Gibsons in sound, playability and appearance! Have always loved the unbound neck.
Exactly same sentiment here.

$4,500 for the Noel J-150 ?
Paid $1,400 for my J-150 and I bet it sounds better.

Ive always felt that while there is A LOT of similaries between the two models, the key difference is that the CW seems to have a much dryer tone, while the Bird has that honey nectar, more saturated tone. Could be because of the pickguard thickness, who knows.

Back on top of Lars, big progress here. Both in the songwriting and the vocals. Keep going forward !

Well, the pricing is almost $4,500 .. is it worth it ?
I bought my orginal 1943 LG-2 for $2,999

yeah, its bad here in Czech Republic. We have the distinction of having the highest per capita new CV-19 infections rate in Europe .... 6 times higher than the US, around 14,000 new cases daily. My girlfriends was diagnosed yeterdaay and im going for the test Saturday ... no symptoms whatsover for either of us. Odd how it effects people in different ways.
Anyways ...gigging ,probably not likely till 2022 in this neck of the woods ....

EA,
He did use a D 28 for a while when his new namesake band started ...I’m sure he wanted to get away from the J 150 sound associated with Oasis and give his band a chance to stand on its own sonic merits . But after a while he reverted back to his J 150 as the main instrument so much so that he even purchased a blonde J 150 :The D 28 still makes an appearance in his live show but it’s not his main instrument.

Oh, Im glad he went back to the J-150, it really sounded great, odd seeing him with a blonde though.
Kelly Jones from Stereophonics is another big J-150 fan, and it really sounds great in his hands, here is a sample of it with a mike out the front.
And mine after I updated the pickgurard a few years ago, I love this guitar ... bought it for $1,400 some 10 years ago ... bargain !

My 2002 J-150 is by far my favourite Gibson in the stable, and also one of the very best super jumbo Gibbies Ive played. It looks great also. I hope this will be a winner for Gibson, but Im also very very curious what the price point will be - in theory it should be a good chunk lower that an SJ-200 Standard ...lets see.
Although ... a few years ago he did switch from the J-150 to a D-28 that he seems to be playing mainly now.
Here is a really lovelly performance with him on the before mentioned J-150.

so hes out of Guild .. ?

She's a nice greek girl from Adelaide Bruce, but luckily along the way met, and hooked up with Richie Sambora and her career went upwards.
Here's a lovelly clip of them playing an acoustic version of Living on Prayer together.
Personally I dont mind the red colouring, but would not go for one myself.

Its this one that was always the 'referance point' to SC ... Her CW and how it sounds on this top track, wanst it Em7 ?
-
Good on him, but I have to say out of all the big names this is one musician / writer I was never able to understand the appeal of.

Yes she does. This is an old classic. One of my favorites.
The Hummingbird looks so great next to hear, ideal fit ... better even than that old CW she used to play. Bling on bling here.

Nice one Sal ... you have such an FM friendly voice ...easy on the ear.
-
Very cool ...first time Ive seen her play a Hummingbird.
is it a song about rolling joints ?
-
That was a surprise to me, guess too many Taylor fans out there now.

If its a really warm sounding SJ-200 then give Elixir PB's a go. I normally HATE those strings, I foun they sound awful on mahogany backed guitars, but they really shine on maple, the tone is rich and natural. Plus also provide that extra brightness and cut-through that you probably need given the warmth. btw .. certainly 12's, tried 13's but no, choek the tone too much.
-
DR Sunbeams are superb and surprisingly Elixir PB’s sound really good, i don’t normally like those strings.
