woodlands52 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Had it for several weeks now, playing it as much as I can. Had the action lowered. I love this axe. It's has replaced all my Martins as my go-to guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Big guitar. Fine strummer. Gentle giant. The Gibson sound is different.....some have an ear for it, others not. For those that do it's the cat's meow, unique and soulful. Good to hear you're happy with what you hear and feel in the J-200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodlands52 Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 It is a fine Strummer, but I love playing finger style on it, too. The neck feels great in my hands and the sound when played finger style is very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I have a 2016, and it's my #1 axe period. I do as much finger picking as with any guitar. In fact, I probably use a pick no more than 30/40% of the time when playing acoustic guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I have to say that every time I see somebody use the term "fingerstyle" it brings about a bit of a chuckle. Very dainty sounding. Me, I ain't no fingerstylist - I am a damn fingerpicker. And that is 100% of the time as it is how I originally taught myself to play back in the early 1960s. But this post is very nice change from the usual proclamations you see about a guitar you have owned maybe a day being a "keeper." What usually jumps into my head is the thought why don't you get back to me a decade or so on down the road. At least get through the Honeymoon period first. We have picked up 5 Gibson flattops in the past 25 or so years. Two went bye-bye although I would have yelled out to the Heavens they were keepers when I first got them in my hands. Of the three still here, one is a who knows kinda thing. That is the 1957 CF-100. It is not the guitar but me. Seems that as I move along I have been losing my once steadfast love for LG-2s. Went through that with our 1960 J-200. Had that one for decades and for many years I would have dared you to try and pry it out of my hands. But somewhere along the line the love affair ended and the only reason it is still with us is that my wife just adores the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
