j45nick Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 That guitar is simply stunning. Looks like a nice spring day down under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing that hit me was the depth of the sound, amazing ... but still beautifully balanced. Thanks! I am digging it, but there is no way I get one if I did not already have the Maple variety. On beauty, nothing beats the sunburst Maple, and yours is perfect. My Maple has opened up nice and full of warmth about 18 months into ownership. I agree on the balance and depth of Maple SJ-200s. Of my 4 nice acoustics, this one seems to maximize a string's sonic personality more than the others. I bet all this with a baked top is even nicer. I had once thought about upgrading, but I'm too attached now. Seeing yours online yesterday reminded me how much I liked the stock strings (Gibson Coated PB) that came on my pre-war version. I put some on and broke them in. Nice! 8 hours ago, Brucebubs said: Thank you for all the kind comments - I'm coming to grips with it and it just sounds better each time I play it - yes, the 'Honeymoon' period is just beginning!

bobouz Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 There's just something about a sunburst Gibson jumbo. I'll never forget my first glimpse of Dylan's Nashville Skyline album cover. Made you want to jump into the picture & wrap it in your arms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon I've wanted a SJ-200 for about 50 years now - first 40 was always blonde - but I'm glad I changed my mind now -the Vintage Sunburst does look great. I'm really happy with it.
