Did I mention I ordered my new Historic 1957 SJ-200 on Feb 6th ( my mother died 4 days later) after surviving the bushfires here and it's not expected to be delivered until late September/early October?

fortyearspickn Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Wow - I can see why they named it Eden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSoxBiker Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 MP, is yours today or tomorrow? I have not gushed about an SJ-200 in a week or two. Not online, anyhow. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Mine arrived this afternoon. I let it sit in it’s case for about three hours before opening it up to the air-conditioning. Been playing it all evening. . Really cool workmanship. Real easy and smooth player. Has more overtones than I was expecting. Fits nicely with my style. I’m sure I’ll be using this guitar a lot. I’ll get some pics tomorrow and try to get a video by the weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love it. Congrats! I like the rosewood overtones on my SJ-200. I would kick, whine and fuss if forced to choose between the RW and the classic Maple configuration as my only SJ-200 keeper. I'm looking forward to your pics and video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Congrats, MP ... I can smell it from here ! Living The Dream now - be sure to pace yourself. Funny how folks think ( I did) that the big SJ200s will BOOM compared to the smaller models. I've found the exact opposite to be true. Nothing like a well-rounded, balanced, stable ... 'stable'. So, NOW which one would you grab in a fire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomG76 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I'm delighted for you, MissouriPicker. I know you'll treasure it. The Montana Gold looks and sounds gorgeous in videos. I've never bought from Wildwood, being in the UK, but I like Greg Koch's videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Here are some pics I took this morning, sorry about the glare on a couple of them. Tried to make them bigger, but medium size was too big. Edited September 3, 2020 by MissouriPicker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
