75 Hummingbird Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Hi all , i have a story to tell , My girl and i go out Saturday on a rainy day tree shopping adventure . We visit our local Nursery's and Box stores looking for a deal on marked down trees and other greenery , well a deal we find ....Fruit trees 25 to 50 percent off ...man i`m in my glory , we fill the truck with half a dozen nice specimens . For shits and giggles i suggest we go to the local box guitar -music shop , i am met with a bit of resistance but....if i buy lunch it`s all good . In i go , Lovie stays in the truck listening to the C.B.C radio , i walk in to the glassed , humidity controlled acoustic room to the not so soothing bangs and twangs of a guy playing a ukulele, i figure i am good for about 2 minutes ... i look left and see a used Dylan SJ 200 ...., i tune and play .....purchase in less time than it took Uke Man to tune that awful retched beast he had in his hands ! ! I am a j 45 guy ....or should i say i was...what a great sounding guitar ! Lunch was really good to . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul14 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Nice one. I would call that a good day. I've got a J-200, & three J'45's I ove them all dearly but my favorite child is the J-200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) If my wife was reading this she would say what the heck took you so long. For over 20 years now the only Gibson she has had eyes for is a J200. No mean feat considering during those years she could have picked from a 1946 LG2, 1956 Southerner Jumbo, 1942 J50, or a 1932 L1 among others. She would not have blinked an eye if any of those went bye bye. But when I mentioned I was thinking of trading off the J200 I was told in no uncertain terms that if I wanted to stay married that guitar was going no place.

jt Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Gorgeous guitar. Congratulations. Now, we need a pic of it leaning up against your new trees! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 That is stunning. Just glorious. I’ve had a raging lust for one of these since they were announced as they’re right in my wheelhouse in every way (Bling? Check! Maple? Check! Two fancy pickguards rather than one? Check!) but time, tide and finances haven’t made it possible to own one so far. One day! In the meantime, I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking that it would be fantastic to see yours in action if you could grab a video for us!

E-minor7 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 A king of kings ~ I actually tried one when they were launched. It was highly impressing for a new acoustic instrument and probably has grown by now. Wait a 1000 days more and it will become a guitar - the 8 year mark is where the dream starts. .

BoSoxBiker Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Man, oh man! SJ-200s rule!!! Very, very nice looker. Congratulations! That warm rumble..... ah! Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Sweet-looking J200! These are really awesome guitars. A real “looker.” There’s something special about a J200. Whether you’re playing quietly playing at home or having it between you and an audience at a gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75 Hummingbird Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 I thank you all for your kind words , this guitar is so beautiful , AAA maple back and sides Adi top ...with a grain to die for . It is a used and played guitar ,with some discoloration on the head stock from what i think was a capo and some dings , but in really nice shape . i have no problem with cosmetic blemish at all as the tone of this beast is really beyond my playing agility, ability ....this guitar is a professional players dream . I have had it to a couple rehearsals and was very humbled . The Baggs Anthem Pickup is a mind blower unto itself ...wow.... I need more time with it before she`s on stage . We are gigging tomorrow ... J45 in hand . Have a great weekend all , nice to be seeing and hearing live music again in Ontario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
