Sitedrifter Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Gibson J200 Vintage Sunburst! I went to the only 5* in NJ (Russo Music) of whom I have been working with the manager Scott for a week now (via email). When I arrived, Howie (great Russo employee) brought out the polished, setup and newly strung J200. I sat down, played it for 10 minutes and told Howie to ring it up I WANT IT! This J is a monster and no bull, truly gives me the quintessential Gibson J200 sound I have dreamt about. I am new to a gloss neck but see no issues with it and the fretboard radius is smaller then my Taylor so it is easier to play (just a hair really) for me. The action is just like my Taylor, low with no buzz. I love this J200 and am the happiest new guitar owner! Here are some pictures of my wonderful J200 Standard! Did I say I love this guitar?? I love this guitar! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichG Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 WHOAH. Congartulations!. I bought my SJTV from Russo's and Scott Engle. I love that store. When we jamming? Congratulations on a beautiful instrument. Russo should host a jam for all the acoustic customers. I've bought two there. On second thought, maybe Gibson only. I think they sell a bunch of acoustics. The room might not be big enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
