I Have This Now
I have played a couple of SJ 200's. They are truly beautiful guitars they also sound better the harder you hit them. Also I cant help but play the first few bars of Pinball Wizard when I grab one.
What a lovely sound its probably the best acoustic guitar ever made! Played by music legends like John Lennon, George Harrison, Noel Gallagher, Chris Martin etc...
I sold my Martin D-28 because I wanted this a second hand 2015 SJ-200 standard I cannot speak highly enough of it.
