J-200 vs hummingbird. Saying that understand that my next guitar is going to be a J200 but Im a Hummingbird fan. Coming back to the acoustic guitars by Gibson the Gibson Guitars legacy of King of the Flat-Tops lives on in this J-200 Gibson Guitar. Based on these my overall impression was that the J-45 and Hummingbird seemed to be in the lead with the J-200 bringing up the rear so I was very interested to find out if this were the case in reality.

This is a beautiful sounding vintage Hummingbird with a great vintage vibe and fantastic playability. Ill be upfront that I wasnt able to give them a proper try-out in the way I would have liked. Callahan Florida 320 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

The Hummingbird six- and 12-string retail at 799 and 849 respectively and the J-200 is priced at 899. The binding and areas of the body have developed a nice patina giving the instrument a beautiful vintage look. Only the J-200 has been made by Gibson for a longer period.

Epiphone Inspired By Gibson Hummingbird J-45 and J-200 Hand-built by Gibsons luthiers these three acoustic guitars are all iconic designs in their own right. It came down to these 2 guitars. The only problem for players on a tighter budget was that these US-made instruments are also on the expensive side.

The Dove is probably right out because it is the brightest of the 3 so its between the EJ 200 or the Hummingbird. The Hummingbird Pro is a distinctive square shoulder dreadnought acoustic-electric. Each guitar filled in the gaps that the others left.

OK the side and back woods have an effect on tonality even if they are. In a nutshell whats different between the new Inspired by Epiphone J-45 and a modern Gibson J-45 60s original 169 nut width vs 1725 on the real Gibson Thin-poly vintage finish on the Epiphone Nitro finish on the real Gibson Real Indian Rosewood fretboard on the real Gibson Grover tuners on the real Gibson. From my experience the square shouldered Dove will have better consistency between strumming and picking.

The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson J-45 Hummingbird and J-200 are all available now. Just like that instrument this one has been used by iconic guitarists over the years and it has also featured on some of the most important recordings over the last sixty years. I love my Hummingbird but they are a very popular guitar whereas the Dove is that wee bit more cliquey and cool.

The SJ-200 Studio is the lowest model in the line featuring walnut rather than maple back and sides chrome hardware a plain pickguard natural finish and no fingerboard binding but it retains the inlays and electronics of the. I owned one alongside my Hummingbird and SJ200 for a while and it was a sweeeeeet combo. There are several soundhole undersaddle pickups on the market.

I love how different Doves are. Such an alternative looking instrument. I used to have an SJ-200 and then sold it to get a Hummingbird.

Unless you know alot about the J-200 i wouldnt buy one I would go out of my way to play one first I own a Jumbo Greven Whyte Lady in Flame maple very simalar to the J-200 and besides being a very big guitar the sound is a bit complex Their are days when its too much of a guitar for me and others when i cant put it down. The jumbo sounded huge for strumming but then would get thin when picking up the neck. The 200 is incredible and their boom and punch is comparable but at the end of the day the Hummingbird sounds warmer and sounds more how I expect an acoustic to sound.

Its inimitable appeal is propped up by the peculiar moustache shaped pau ferro bridge imitation Tortoise pickguard with J-200 Graphics black and white bindings and crown pearloid inlays. I have missed going to music shops so much. Price-wise the standard J-45 has a tag of 699 while the Extended Cutaway version goes for 749.

It was first introduced in 1947 and since then the guitar has set and unmatched standard. Hummingbird has a solid spruce top - EJ-200CE hasnt so the Hummingbird should sound better unplugged the sound should continue to improve as the top gets broken in. Gibson currently makes many variations of the J-200.
