GAS (biggest ever - for me)!   
[Sorry - I could not resist the urge to edit and correct.]

Bought on Monday this week - a totally scrumptious Gibson SJ-200 (in the 
all-important sunburst). Like this one:

... but did I mention that it is in the all-important sunburst, making 
it look like this one (but new)?

Fitted with the transducer and a neat little volume control located just 
inside the bass side of the soundhole.

Man... this is *some* guitar - it makes my J-50 sound more like a 
cardboad box.

The only downside (if you can call it that):

... it's not mine. I'm happy to say, though, that it is James Jnr's 
chosen graduation present (awarded a BSc II.i this week - pause for 
round of appause from all who have met him).

We actually tried a natural finish example a couple of weeks ago 
(they're actually hard to find at the moment), but the non-sunburst 
finish just doesn't have the charisma (IOHO).

Still... it's so good, I might just save for a few months and get my own.

Anyone interested in a J-50? :-)
