TWilson Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Congratulations, I think you're going to love that guitar. You should probably play a little "Poncho and Lefty" on her too! Photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertjohn Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I was listening to the song on the train on the way home from work on Friday thinking......... "I've got to get me an SJ 200 some day" It's the best rock and roll intro there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLiveSoundGuy Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 For me it would be "Sea and Sand," and "5:15" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertjohn Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 How about "Behind Blue Eyes" or my favourite "I'm One"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towzend Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 "I'm one" is great, wish i could play it like him.. but the killer is "Drowned" the 1979 policemans ball !! its awsome.. hes totally pissed/stoned when he did that live show! "blue eyes" yep got that off to a T! Pete's yer man!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 AJ, you really SHOULD get yourself a '200! No guitar arsenal is truly replete without an SJ200. I have had so much joy from mine over the years, companionship too-it's probably spent more time with me in the last 5 years than any one person.

I've played one before and it felt a bit big for me but I guess you get used to it. But I love the sound ref: Pete Townshend- even Noel Gallagher ref: She Is Love.

Jinder Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Noel is a great example of a distinctive SJ200 player. I heard he uses a vintage '200 in the studio and an SJ200 Jr. live. They can be great fingerstyle guitars too...I love the tone I get with mine using bare fingers. The rosewood SJ300s and Prewar Western Classic SJ200s are stunning too, as are the Bubinga SJ100s. Plenty of jumbo loveliness to choose from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWilson Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 albertjohn - unless you're smaller than Emmylou Harris, you should just go out tonight and get one! Oh, Little Jimmy Dickens played one too and he's about 5'2". Go ahead, take the plunge!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinNoName Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 On a vaguely similar topic, is a J185 effectively a J200jr, but I assume without the bling, or at least less? I know they certainly do a cutaway version on a J185, but they do(did) a rosewood one too without the cutaway right, or I imagining that? thanks folks!!

albertjohn Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Thanks Tragopan. This is not really helping. I've done some surfing and the going rate for a MC is about £2,300 ish and the TV is over £3k! If it wasn't for the US export duty, I'd be able to fly to Bozeman, pick one from the factory, fly home and still have change for a fish and chip supper. And of course, I haven't actually got £3k burning a hole in my pocket at the moment. Is that a J200 that Emmy Lou has? I thought she always plays her sig L200.
