RockinB23 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Well some of you guys know I had just bought a new J-200 Custom that I had to sell due to some financial reasons. Things worked out fairly well I was able to get a really good trade offer on another forum which included quite a bit of cash and a 2009 Gibson Songwriter Deluxe Custom cutaway in mint condition. I shipped out my J-200 yesterday and he shipped out the SDC and I should get it on tuesday. I'm going to see how we are doing financially over the next week or two and I'm hoping to maybe hold onto the SDC. Has anyone played one of these really pretty guitars? How did you like it? On paper they look and sound incredible. Hot hide glue adi braces, with lots of abalone and flamed maple binding!!! Here are some pics of the one I'm getting.

RockinB23 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 The other funny thing I forgot to mention is, when I bought my J-200 Custom from Sweetwater I was really torn between it and getting the Songwriter Deluxe Custom to save a bit of money. The difference in the new price is about what I got in cash from the person I did the trade with. I guess I was meant to have one of these songwriter customs.

EuroAussie Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Well I own a studio and played a standard but never tried a SWD custom. But I can tell you the SWD is a great guitar, needs a bit of looking after in terms on strings, brightness but when you get the right balance its a sweet sounding rosewood Gibby with an all mighty growl. Hope you like it and will be ablt to hold on to it ! cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enmitygauged Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 . Beautiful guitar. Another member has one, can't remember who though. I have the Deluxe and have played the Standard, the custom and the Firebird all are amazing guitars I run Elixers on mine changed the sound to perfection or at least for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-sport Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 i have exactly the same model , but in sunburst. I love my guitar, she's by far the best one I have. Hope yours is a joy http://imgur.com/a/35wc9/guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsech Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I have a Martin JC 16 Jumbo cutaway and it seems to loose a little low end due to the cutaway. I also have a SJ 200. I think a lot of it may be the difference in the rosewood back and sides on the Martin and the maple back and sides on the Gibson. The guitar you have coming is a real looker, by the way. The fretboard inlays are beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelR Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I have a new SWD Standard - the same guitar with less bling. I can't put it down. I use Elixer nano pb 12's with great results. Good luck with it, and post back with your impressions.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
