    Lovelovelove your Vox collection!! My cousin brought his Royal Guardsman over to my house back in 1970 to let a new guitar playing kid work with a real amp, I was in awe and will never forget that!

      The Royal Guardsman’s are such beautiful amps! And I thank you for your kind words

    The AN color looks better in that finish.
    I own one. It’s a lovely and great sounding guitar.
    Great review by the way.

    I know one dealer who had a run made of custom J200s from Gibson with the tune-o-matic bridges.
    But you're right, that bridge makes a huge difference if you want that Harrison or Townshend or Led Zeppelin sound.

    Excellent review Paul! Was very curious to see a review of the SJ-200 after seeing you it on Insta. As it is already nails the sound of George’s for the most part. Can’t wait to see the mods!

    Hey Paul, you did good for no editing!😄 She's got lots of sustain, that for sure. Not a fan of the matte finish either but that's not too difficult of a fix. I was actually expecting that you'd mod the case too, looking for those period correct latches!😂😂 Good score, thanks for sharing.👍👍

    I had an all-black SJ200 from around 2014, bought it the next year. One of the worst acoustics I ever had the misfortune of owning and playing. The tone sounded practically dead and I never felt inspired anytime I played it. Needless to say, that guitar is unceremoniously long gone. It sounds like Epiphone did what they could to give players affordability and quality for what this is. Hopefully, your video will persuade people's opinions on whether or not they want to pick one up. I'm certainly intrigued.

      Hi, I had the same model since 2013 and it's extremely underwhelming.
      THIS one is 7 times better, I own both abd have a rave review on my channel.

    I saved up and bought a gibson sj-200. I was on a wait list for 2 years and sadly it’s not my favorite guitar. It plays good enough and sounds fine but for 5k I want my butt to pucker when I play it lol. I have to say that J-45s are my favorite gibson acoustic. If I could trade the j-200 an EJ-160 I would

    I know you probably haven't played it but I wonder what you would think of the Sigma version of this, the GJA-SG200. It's also solid sitka spruce and just a bit cheaper. I had seriously been considering that one for a while. I didn't know epiphone just made this.

      ​@@guitargearconnection I have reviews of this guitar, Sigma solid-top and Sigma all-solid abd comparisons on my channel.
      SIGMAs are NOWHERE near this Epiphone's tone, AT ALL.
      They however are MUCH more comfortable and beautiful, they look deluxe.

    Hello, good review. I am very interested to see how the guitar will be after being polished (are you going to make a video ? would be great). IThis model interests me and I would like to do the same thing. That's the only point that made me not buy it

    I spend money on equipment that makes money. It's not the price - it's "How much can THIS guitar make ME?" A creatively-inspiring acoustic might, but I've got those already, and those have made far more money. And will in the future. This is only a show-piece - a stage-piece, something that could be stolen.

    • @Cbcw76

      I wish more demo's would choose Neil Young's TELL ME WHY from his AFTER THE GOLD RUSH album because it features some great growls on the bass E string. I don't really consider Jumbo's or Dreadnough's to be singularly defined by treble-chords - these are BIG bodies that should offer great bass tones. A sliding, walking bass line for example...
