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? :-)
