"Gorgious SJ-200"

Sound:
I would have to say that my Gibsom SJ-200 is one of my favorites. Before I go into the guitars suddelties and nuances, I should preface it by acknowledging that my SJ-200 is a limited edition piece. It is #22 of 46. So this description is given under the probability that all SJ's are pretty much the same. The Maple back & side gives it a deep rich sound but is brighter than a Rosewood dreadnought. One thing I find cool about the SJ-200, is how light it is. It is at least half the weight of my Martin D-41. The sound is soothing for a jumbo. The action is great but I think I had it adjusted after i got it but I can't remember? The one thing to watch out for is humidity control. I've noticed that the humidity affects the sound of the SJ as much as any guitar I have. And I have 33. All acoustic or acoustic/electric. My SJ has the most beautiful Quilted maple you ever see. It is a gorgious piece from top to bottom.

Ease of Use:
Has a great sound but to much humidity dampens it.

Support:
I haven't had any dealings with Gibson. Ever.

Overall:
I'll never get rid of my SJ.

About This Product!
Description
The SJ-200 Reissue is an all-time best-seller! With its historic 1950s details, this is the most popular jumbo, known as the "King of the Flat-tops". In today's world, many acoustic guitar manufacturers have chosen to build their instruments more quickly, cheaply, and in greater numbers. Gibson acoustic guitars are made one-at-a-time, by hand. No shortcuts. No substitutions. They're made in Bozeman, Montana, where the climatic conditions are ideal for guitar building. Most importantly, Gibson acoustic guitars are built by master craftspeople who have dedicated their lives to building the world's finest acoustic instruments. These elements combine to create the difference that is the Gibson acoustic guitar. The difference is "MasterBuilt."
