PinoyGibson Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I've been eyeing this guitar since it came to one of our Long & Mcquade stores here in Calgary in early 2014. Fast forward to 2016 and the guitar was on sale for half the price due to inventory clear out! I guess it was fate. I love this guitar and it sounds quite different from my regular SJ-200.

CAMELEYE Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Nice! Kinda like a mahogany J-200 in a blingless package. Good to have both though, I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinoyGibson Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Thanks guys, I'll try to post a video review of it in a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Sweet! The super jumbos are like thunder-in-a-wooden-box. It will be interesting to hear you play it. ..........Funny how life just happens. You've wanted it for almost two years and now you've got it at a great price. Good for you, my friend.

62burst Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Very nice. Not too many contemporary Gibsons have that style headstock logo, let alone the stair step firestripe guard and batwing bridge. Calgary L & M? One of our forum members is, I believe, on staff there- drathbun, here on the forum. So, which one is the more quiet of the two? ; ) Have an enjoyable time listening to, and playing them both. A video review would be great. Happy NGD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also weighs a lot less than the SJ-200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modoc_333 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 New Guitar Day is always a good day..... especially when it is Half Price Guitar Day! She is beautiful! It's also really cool that you didn't just get A guitar because they had a sale.... you got THE guitar that you had been wanting. That's awesome.

Fullmental Alpinist Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 A beautiful guitar and a great story to go along with it. Congratulations. Does that nylon guitar pick void the warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
