JuanCarlosVejar Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Folks, Check it out: The Southern Jumbo looks really road worn but the SJ 200 looks to have been dragged behind a bus .Still both have amazing tone in my opinion and it shows that Bozeman has done a great job in capturing the spirit of the Gibson of old.

JC It's strange that both of those guitars have similar damage. Looks like someone has been using them as a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Everyone's ears are different, but I preferred the Old SJ. I think my SJ200 sounds 'better than his'. But maybe that's because I didn't crack the bridge and split the face in 3 places. Most amazing to me in this video - the two guitar cases in the background are in pristine condition.

The damage is so similar on the two that it's hard to think of this as a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Red label CS if this is the one. The one shown busted up looks like a standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one shown busted up looks like a standard Actually the smashed red guitar was Noel’s (A 355 I believe) but the SJ 200 was Liam’s a Rosewood Natural Top: It was a gift from his ex wife. It had the Gibson Block logo . His main writing guitar is a 1962 Hummingbird and an early 60’s LG 3 with no pickguard.

If that happened to an SJ 200 standard that was mine ... I wouldn’t have it put back together with that same cracked top ... I’d have something new put on it or smash it to bits. But not everyone has the means to have something rebuilt. Glad they have pretty nice ton though. Hopefully they last the guy for years to come.
