Here's what I have on my SJ. It was more open but it's better since I upped the humidity
Around the same time, I had the same issue with a Jackson Browne

Not sure but being 6 digits my guess is the 01 is for 2001 and the serial number is 3197.
Is there a Made In USA stamp below the number?
Is it an ink stamp?
You should repost this in the Gibson USA lounge. You'll get a better answer.

In my case, it’s a newer 1942 SJ with the cooked top. It was just the lacquer and after I turned the humidity it disappeared.
I did the same as you as far as looking inside. -
I’ve had that issue on new guitars recently. I kicked up the humidity settings in my guitar room and they went away. In my case I was keeping the room at 40/45. Now I keep it at 45/50. After a couple years, they’re not as temperamental
-
Just a guess, an LG0 converted to an LG2 by changing the top to x-bracing. Check out the top bracing.

His was the 'Grand Piano of Guitars'

I’ve had a few of those. Took about 5 months to dry them out.

My guess would be the strings or the guitar sat in some warehouse before it came to store and was over humidified.
Just guessing based on previous experiences.-

I'm not one for making video's but I did get a friend to do one for these guitars. A couple of members have this model and have posted videos.
Quite a few from John Thomas who wrote the book "Kalamazoo Gals". If you go to his YouTube channel you will see more.
Tom Barnwell is another member here with a collection that is amazing. I put one of his videos down below too.

I had a couple Chet CE's (Classical Electric) and one Chet SST (Steel String). I liked them both. I like the Nick Lucas the other one is playing.
I liked their single "Just the Way It Is, Baby"

Just a generation gap. I grew up in the 50’s and early 60’s. You may have heard of some of my guitar hero’s but maybe not all of them.
Hank Garland, Billy Byrd ( these two gave us the Byrdland guitar), Harold Bradley, James Burton, Scotty Moore, Chuck Berry, Chet Atkins. There were many more as I grew older.
Even though I don’t /didn’t keep up with the next generations, if I saw a video of some of the popular musicians of the day, I was impressed. I just didn’t get obsessed with them or follow their careers.
I watched HardRock Vault video with John5 playing some guitars they pulled out of their vault. He blew me away. I still do not have any desire to follow his career in Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie and Motley Crew (I had to look those up) -

Oh it definitely shows. But in guitar culture even if you are not into the music, surely you would’ve heard of Dave Mustaine?
Nope

Orianthi is a woman. She’s easy on the eyes too. She played with Alice Cooper.
Is that the blonde that plays the electric guitar for him? I've seen videos of her, very talented. Again, an artist known for her electric work with an acoustic sig???

THIS I agree with wholeheartedly. TheTaylor Taylor Swift model was about $500.
I would think the targeted demographics for Taylor and Miranda would be different.
I'm not a fan or am I familiar with either and don't have an opinion of either so I guess 70+ year old men don't fall into either demographic, but I do buy a lot of new Gibson's. I couldn't name one song from either of the ladies. But this is true of most of the artist models in the current line-up.
Miranda Lambert Bluebird - Bluebonnet – heard of her, can’t name a song
Keb’ Mo’ “3.0” 12-Fret J-45 - Vintage Sunburst – I’ve heard him a few times and liked him, no desire
The Everly Brothers SJ-200 - Ebony – I want this one
Noel Gallagher J-150 - Vintage Sunburst – never heard of him
Elvis Dove - Ebony – My DIF trumps this one
Elvis SJ-200 - Ebony – Have it, love it.
Nathaniel Rateliff LG-2 Western - Vintage Sunburst- never heard of him
Jerry Cantrell "Fire Devil" Songwriter - Ebony- never heard of him
Jerry Cantrell "Atone" Songwriter - Ebony- never heard of him
Dave Mustaine Songwriter - Ebony- never heard of him
Dave Mustaine Songwriter, Signed - Ebony- never heard of him
Orianthi SJ-200 - Cherry- never heard of
himherSlash J-45 - Vermillion Burst - Heard of him, Guns N Roses, can’t name a song. I thought he was a Les Paul guy???
Tom Petty SJ-200 Wildflower - Antique Natural- heard of him, can name some songs, no desire
Frank Hannon Love Dove - Vintage Cherry Sunburst – never heard of him
Eric Church Hummingbird Dark - Cobra Burst – Heard of him, can’t name a song
I did run across this video of Taylor unplugged, solo playing a Gibson. Not bad.

Here's a couple Gibson all mahogany.
The one on the left is a '42 LG1 (x-braced)
The one on the right is a reissue of the other one. I no longer have this one.
-
All mahogany body. Top, back and sides.

I sped it up because playing alone left too much “dead space” ( plus I tend to play everything a little fast).
My best friend and I started playing guitars together at 12 years old in '64. We're still best friends and still get together and play, just not as often.
We had a band but never played out because he was too shy. In my later teens, I joined his older brother's band and started playing out in the bars for a few years.
When we were in our mid 40's, he decided he wanted to start playing out. He came to me to get advice and to learn some songs.
My advice was to stay out of the bars, which he did. Working with him for solo work had two obstacles. He wanted to speed through everything and could not play a 3/4 time.
We got through it, and he played around town for quite a few years. Whenever he had a large venue, he would get me or one of his brothers to join him.

I really like the guitar. Playability and tone. I have a few all hog guitars.
I bought it used. It came with the OHSC, COA and Inspection report.
That’s unusual for a used guitar
-
Quite a few of the custom short runs do not have much information.
I have a 2016 Sunburst version of this guitar.

Open the video in YouTube
Select Settings
Select Playback Speed
Select Custom
A slide Bar will appear
Slide it to where you want to run. I did .8 for your video.

For Gibson acoustics made in Nashville the 6th digit is a 5. For Boseman or Kalamazoo it is a 0.
This is incorrect. Every day they reset the last three digits. I don't know if they start at 000 or 001.
After number 099 it goes to 100 ........
Granted most of the numbers start with 0 since the first 99 have a 0
The Nashville plant would be using the 9 digits instead of the 8 digits
Here's a Bozeman made guitar I bought last year. The last three digits are 118.

Good job on a difficult song.
I thought your tempo was a bit fast so I went into the settings on YouTube and changed the playback to .75 (I think .8 would be better, but it was not an option)
That really nailed it for me. Made it "Bluesy", even the vocals.
Try it!
Edit-
I got off my phone and on the laptop. YouTube does have a custom setting for playback. I set it to .8 and it sounded great!

I can only feel it at one spot where the wood meets the binding.
