robatsu Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I just bought a 2008 SJ-200, one of the limited edition run of True Vintage that were the first Adi topped J-200s. I did a big writeup of it here with some pictures. Very cool axe. I recently sold my 1994 J-200 which I had owned since new and almost immediately regretted it. However, now I don't, the new one is pretty much a new and improved J-200, not that the old one was bad, just this one is better. IMO, we live in a golden era of luthiery skills, these things are just getting better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannusguy2 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Congratulations! I had a J45 from that series. Beautiful guitars in that run. Did you get the jacket that came with it? I sold my guitar but hung onto the jacket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Congrats. Lovely guitar, I have one of the sitka topped later models myself. Wish you many years of happiness with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 . Checked your pics - nice looking natural. Interesting bit about the types of music you use it for and your search for more volume on the high end. Glad you found one that fits you better. Congrats. . B) .

Richjo Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Congratulations! I recently purchased one of the 2008 167 SJ-200 TV also. Plays great but dissappointed as it had a zipper like crack/scratch about 1 1/2" long. It plays and sounds great but I was soured by the crack. I was relieved that the 2012 models were the exact same specs, including the adirondack top, as the original 167 pieces. Guitar Center ordered a new one from the factory and I just received it, factory fresh with the nitro smell, last week. Plays and sounds fantastic. The only difference is I did not get the jacket, case cover, or leather bound certificate which I guess are the "Limited Edition" part of the deal, since the guitar is exactly the same. (without the crack, in my case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
