  • This is my DREAM guitar. To bad I'm a poor garbage man, i'll have to settle for the Epiphone version, which also sounds ama-za-za-zing.

  • @TheAtomalone Tbh, there is no big difference. IN MY OPINION, others may think differently. I would say that the Gibson version is more of a collectors item. Also, only trained ears can hear the difference between a Gibson J-200 and the Epiphone version in a blind-test, I dont have the link for the article but if I find it, I can link it to you if you want.

  • it looks fat and uncomfy. :(

  • @EliasFrostMusic I have the Epi EJ200 and it is heavy and uncomfy. Mine has a bright sound not deep and loud like I thought it would be.

  • Gibson acoustic guitars are just overrated. crazy that it costs what it costs. a Quran guitar. has better sound and timbre

  • @StringPegs What about Martin?

  • it's... $5000!

  • Even Elvis played some of these---I like the sound but don't like looks of mustache tailpiece

  • roxenn grande august

  • Try playing August Rush on that thing!

  • You play the same thing over again. Where's your imagination and passion man?!!

  • @rocketjunkie88 He plays the same thing so that it's like an A-B-C test with each guitar, one that you can use to hear what each type of tone sounds like on the play-through. Don't you find it helpful if you were trying to pick between any of these guitars to buy, and didn't have a chance to demo too many of them at your local music store?

  • @rocketjunkie88 dude that is for comparison with the different guitars - anybody with a decent IQ would get it!

    shesh ppl just don't use their heads

  • @jojiran i am aware dude that IQ's are indeed a concept of an aliens university endeavours encircling the deep blue Prussian ocean in real time. This Gibson J200 is the parapaleptic result of incongruous nebular positioning. it retails at $ 2500 in Croydons rockbottom.

  • fuck my ears with that strumming man

  • Who taught you how to strum?

  • i own a Montana Gold which is upgrade model from J-200 standart .both model create killer tone ,i'm tellin you Gibson make best maple guitar,i spend all my freen time on it,and that's why i'm single now.

  • @markzhu lol

  • a bit flashy but great sounding guitars no matter the style .every time i go into a guitar shop i always end up playing one of these and thinking how i could afford one .i think whatever style you played would sound good on this

  • Sigh...yet another stunning guitar that I'll never be able to afford.

  • thumbs up for Just for Laughs!

  • i speak as an owner, or a former one anyway. they sound amazing! but you are paying a huge price for the aesthetics. if you have the cash, then you wont be at all disappointed with one at all

  • Dá vontade de tacar fogo no meu violão.

  • looks good but i think it doesn't sound that good.

  • @budabua It sounds great with new strings. in all of these vids the strings sound old for some reason. look up more reviews, this guitar sounds great. plus it sounds better in person.

  • great cheers mate!

  • Everyone strums differently, I kinda like this hard strum.

  • love the tone I wish he could've play jazz chords to see how it handles it with the same tone!!!

  • Nice guitar but i like Martin Guitars better.

  • by far the nicest acoustic guitar out there

  • WarezH97D its because hes using a thumb pick.

  • @bluespassionman88 He's using a flat pick when he strums (pause it at 1:28). He's just hitting too hard. Probably using jazz stubbys or something. When you strum that hard even a $4000 Gibson sounds like a $150 Alvarez :)

  • £3000? Fuck that.

  • @honestjohntellsit better off with Epiphone EJ-200 :D

  • I've been trying out a lot of high end guitar of late. I'm yet to try a Gibson Acoustic. Maybe I should :)

  • what's the second and 4th song you played? i wanna learn!

  • God I fucking love the sound of a single strum of an F chord on that guitar. The bass and overall sound is PERFECT.

  • And strings?

  • I've had lots of high end acoustics so far and I find newer Gibson models sound very dead and clunky. This model has some sound but not much considering it's a jumbo guitar. I also find the fit and finish on newer Gibson's to be sub par and when you're spending $2500 and up, it should be perfect. In order to get a really good sound picking up an older Gibson is key as the wood today is not what it used to be. For the money I'd rather a Taylor or even though they're made by Fender now, a Guild.

  • 2 Words: Fucking Beautiful!

  • I use a Ibanez acoustic guitar and I wouldn't trade it. But this a whole new ball game... Must be the difference between the 700 US Dollars I paid to the many thousand dollars this guitar shoud be worth. Awesome instrument! Beautifully crafted and sounds just perfect. Thanks for sharing.

  • I want moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • I've also an Epiphone version in Sunburst and it sounds great too. Love the guitar. Agree with WarezH97D guitar strummed too hard in this demo!

  • I've an Epiphone version in Ebony - same sound. AWESOME!!!

  • ..I have to change pants....damn.

  • Wow!

  • Big booming sound. Where's Elvis?

  • what is first song?

  • а что он за музон вначале исполняет?

  • Doesn't sound as rich as you think it would.

  • @psyoptica That´s right. Thanks to the subwoofer and speakers pluged in to the computer, the guitar sounds great...

  • Gibson J-200 - How does it sound? - Awesome!

  • tried one in a store new,,and found it muddy ,,,yes it had newish strings on it ,,looks nice ,found the cheap Martin was much louder and with depth ,,,sorry not a fan ,, J45 is better but even w that martin just has better tone all around ,,just my opinion .......

  • Gibson is one of America's best small companies in many ways which like many has been so hard pressed by cheap price foreign made stuff the last 20 years or so. ( I don't mean the Japanese guitars which evolved quick to high quality as some Yamaha's like the Jumbo Paul Simon has,) but other stuff made in Mexico, Korea then China but, they have actually improved awhile back too. But, it's not the same as an old American made crafted guitar. So, why are they burdening Gibson now, with SWAT teams?!

  • OMG, what a beautiful instrument! Gibson is the largest, of course! They build more than several other luthiers put together.

  • I played one at my local shop today, and my god, the sound is amazing. The playability it "so-so", but the sound is magnificent! Very deep and rich.

  • I'm sorry but this video does not do justice to the large open note sound you get on the J-200. I've owned one a little over a year now and the sound is just amazing. Granted not all guitars of the same model sound or even feel alike (I've played on some shitty J-200's). They should've used a better sounding J-200....

  • What is that chord progression you are using for these demos?

  • ЗАЕБАЛА РЕКЛАМА

  • @HeresDozzy

    That's why you have hands, to play the guitar before you fork out whatever you are willing to pay.

  • amazing guitar

  • what do you have on your fingers in the righ hand?

  • @betoman96 fingerpick

  • The J-200 has to be the prettiest guitar there is.

  • @doggafella are you asking if it's a takamine or a Gibson or are you asking which you should get? Cause this guitar is obviously a Gibson. Hahaha

  • takamine or gibson ?

  • @doggafella Go to a guitar store and try them out yourself. That is the best way to choose a guitar. find the one that feels the best and sounds the best :)

  • King-of-the-Flattops, EVER

  • WHAT SOUND!!!!!!

  • you strum down tooo hard man!

  • @WarezH97D You and the 8 other sissies: What does "too hard" mean? How are you supposed to know "how it sounds" when strummed hard...fool.?

  • @WarezH97D I know RIGHT?? How does he not hear how he's thrashing those strings? Easy....easy...

  • @WarezH97D So did jimi Hendrix man!

  • play oasis you jack*ss

  • It certainly does sound a bit muted...

  • @Wizmar

    there's something wrong with his mic , they all sound muted in these vids.

  • is this the same guitar as the one in august rush? haha

  • Nice playing but the guitar seems to have very limited projection....

  • It sounds dull.

  • beautiful sound. i wish i could have one

  • I listened to this on headphones and could really hear the beautiful overtones of this guitar. Nice dem.

  • nice guitar man!

  • how do you keep a 2,000 dollar guitar a 2,000 dollar guitar? what is the care and feeding?

  • @tailendcharlie dude....... Seriously, shut the fuck up. You're embarrassing yourself

  • Thank you Audio Fanzine! As good as it can get for comparisons online!

  • go to a music store and play the thing,you have to listen to it 'moving air,anything else is quite pointless.

    its just someone wanking off playing guitar on youtube its of no use...LOL

  • Tell me how listening to a low level recording of a$2000 guitar through a laptop speaker is of any use to anyone....its got nothing to do with the sound of the instrument.

    POINTLESS

  • @tailendcharlie It'd be wise of you to start reading the descriptions on videos that you watch so that you don't come off as ignorant. He uses TWO professional grade microphones to do all of his recordings. His videos are the best on the net to listen to if you want to know what a particular guitar sounds like.

  • these things are pointless......you have to listen to the bloody instrument!

  • @tailendcharlie You my friend, are an idiot.

  • these things are pointless......you have to listen to the bloody instrument!

  • @JMLizardKing1971 it's all just personal opinion!

  • im not trolling but really whats so good about gibsons? i hate their tone

  • @JMLizardKing1971 I think its all the prestige and crap associated with the name and because they're made in the USA blah blah blah.... tbh I agree with you, I've seen and heard much better guitars than gibsons

  • the best guitar in the world?

  • only a gibson is GOOD enough (LOL)

  • is this the standard j-200 model?! the outside between the top and back looks so awesome it made me think this would be an anniversary model. i definitly need to get myself one of these once in my life.

  • sweet guitar wish there was a gibson dealer around here so i could try some out.thanks for posting these vids so i know more.

  • man there are tons of comments that ive read people talking about epis sounding just as good or better than gibsons... no way ...epi makes good guitars but its not a gibson

  • @rolling24waters ive played an epi that plays ten times better than some gibson. for 3 grand an acoustic better be oretty darn amazing and this is not worth it judging purely by sound. go get a martin

  • thats it im buying it!!!!!!!!!!!

  • One of the best sounding guitars ever.

  • I usually think that gibsons are overated but this changed my mind

  • my uncle has my grandpas that he bought in 57' with the original case.2nd one off the line

  • Comment removed

  • I bought a Gibson SJ200 Historic collection acoustic back in 2003. Paid $2,699.00 for it. Now the standard j200 like this one in the video are going for $3,900.00 and the VOS version like mine is $4,900.00 retail. A lot of money for a guitar....but I gotta tell ya the J200 just sings! Best sounding guitar I've ever played. the vid dosen't do it justice. Don't get me wrong there are a lot of great guitars and makers out there, so find one you like and buy it. But for me this is the one. SWEET!

  • How much is this guitar?

  • @semur94 about 4000$

  • Звук очень плохой .

  • i have a gibson guitar calender and this guitar is on december. and the J-45 is on september.

  • can you do an epiphone j200 version? id like to compare the 2

  • My dream guitar

  • better than taylor guitars

  • You know.. For the price, I'd buy a Taylor, Yamaha, Martin, Takamine.. Hell.. Anything rather than a gibson! When they bring the price down to reality, say 1500-2000 tops I'll give them all the business I can. It does have sound benefits.. But none that justify the money.

  • @SaurianSoul Models you mention are pretty much average guitars.. difference is Gibson's guitar's are much prettier.In general they all sound kind of average.I'd add Santa Cruz..Collings..as being average as well. For one of these an average amount of money is all they are worth.But for a real instrument,not for a person interested in collecting toy's with a legend attached,a substancial amount should be expected to be spent.Classical musicians have 1 instrument,it is special,it sings & a spare.

  • When I was young in the late 80's I was a fool to buy new Fender..new Martin..new Gibson..which in the end only looked like the real thing but were stiff ,instead of paying double to buy versions made in the 40's-50's. Should have bought just one..instead of 3.. as there was no comparison in sound.Old ones had soul new ones were dead.

    Try a new Lowden..a true instrument(only recent ones since 2004)..& Huss & Dalton who do a Martin like Martin used to do 100 years ago.Good luck.

  • That's the brightest sound I ever heard come out of an acoustic guitar.... Amazing. :')

  • Excellent Guitar !!!

  • Man now I have to look what TheJuicer1414 had written!

  • check out seagull artist videos on my channel

    /watch?v​=QcHoyyODYE0

  • one day im guna own one thesse VS

  • I own one. And to be honest for strumming, they sound better with slightly older strings. Not too old though. But not too new either. I just put new strings on mine, and it's pretty average. In 10 years time it will sound incredible. I got mine signed my a man called Richard Ashcroft.

  • @theinck lucky basterd D:

    

  • @theinck yeah i agree. ive had guitars like that. its weird how that works

  • i hate the same contry riff 

  • AHHH a J200! Love love love!

  • @zzy66613 4000$

  • @MrTaz1998

    OUCH!

  • well, this is my fav.....i love the sound and the model. does anybody know the price?

  • You play awesome°!

  • Gibson makes some nice guitars but not everybody has 5 grand just laying around so you have to buy what you can afford. Then put a piece of tape on the peghead that says Gibson and glue on a J200 pickguard and pretend your're playing the real thing. Or....you buy an Epiphone copy.

  • I have to carefully scrutinize the tone of this guitar because my girlfriend says the sound turns her on more than almost anything. But I'm to broke to get one so I have to build an approximation that will hit that magic tone!

  • This guitar buzzes and makes popping noises alot when he strums, other than that real nice guitar

  • First thing I buy if I win the lottery

  • Damn that guitar looks sweet.

  • Beautiful guitar and playing

  • @bobsegar30 me too

  • to answer the title...AWESOMEPICNICEXCELENT!

  • how does it sound: like sex. that's how it sounds. maybe even better

  • the ovation is better!!!

  • @theruebn You obviously don't know anything.

  • Acoustic Royality right there guys!

    1:09 is where it's at!

  • what an instrument ..killer sounds killer looks for me gotta be the best looking guitar ever made i would love to own one someday ......

  • 60050$

    

  • all you idiots who think these cost 5000 bucks, you do realize thats the MSRP and not the actual retail price right?

  • THE king of flat tops. THE ultimate acoustic. The bass really punches on this.

  • what a beautiful instrument. I'm hoping to get one next year :)

  • PREFIRO TAKAMINE 523SC

  • sometime I complain about being poor enough to not be able to buy everything I want...then I look back and say..."who the fuck spend $5000 on a guitar?"

  • @nirson123 people passionate abut their music obviously

  • @nirson123 because we have money unlike your welfare ass

  • Fast decay, almost all fundamental, as maple is famous for, Great for a large band where the acoustic guitar needs to slice into a narrow nitch. The extra large size helps give some bass. They always seem to be short on the sound I expect from them, even the Brazilian rosewood ones from the late 40s. The J-100 seems to be more resonant and sustaining for some reason.

  • yupe...sounds like a Gibson. This one is more resonant and doesn't really "hold back" like the hummingbird. Well, it is a jumbo. I am proud to call it my ever first favorite guitar, although I've got my eyes firmly set on the D45 now. Both have its distinctive sound. Would love to own all two...hahahaha

  • @goola i like gibsons who in thier right mind wouldnt the great historical sound has made so many great musicians,but i have only found a few that favored me,in my time. i own a 1964 guild f40 the lower bout puts it in the almost small jumbo size,a great guitar.1978d28 br 160 1964guild f112 1985guild d30 alvarez ay20 , epiphone masterbuilt slope shoulder, and a doug jackson bolivin rosewood jumbo resophonic guitar,not real pricey instruments,but very functionable.

  • Lol, it says fingering...

  • Gibson's sure sound purdy. Guild d55 has a pretty sweet tone too.

  • i like the taylor 914ce the best but the gibson i think is the best for the blues picking.

  • I wish i could have one.

  • Gibson all the way.

  • i agree with catseatingclouds...guy's an idiot, playing the same songs on every video of different guitars, lets hear different songs on each guitar! the versitility is questioned beacuse he doesn't play anything else on these guitars! wtf is up with that? come on man, you can do better, play simple chords, and strum it beautifully, i want to hear the beauty of each of these guitars, not the boring and lame shit over and over

  • @guitar20mania or, play the same thing so you can hear the difference with the same stuff

  • i have a j200 !! i realy like my guitarr !!! i never played with a Martin ... but my next one will be a martin d45 !!!! but ouchh the price is so high ?? why ??

  • @qqssaa Some would argue best guitar ever made. Thats why the price is what it is.

  • @TheJuicer1414 you sir, are an idiot.

  • @TheJuicer1414 lolwtf

  • @TheJuicer1414 I think that nobody can be as stupid as you .......

  • how bad it sounds - really terrible! great job by the player though!

  • @freekoch Think you will find that the mikes are producing a combing effect and it is not the guitar. I own one and the Gibson. I use the Epiphone all the time !

  • Play something else!!

    You play the same shit in all of your videos..

  • @DanskeSange i think the point is so that u can compare the way everything sounds directly...

  • my dream guitar ughh :/

  • @GibsonDJ22 Dude go for a Martin, way more quality and sound than ANY other acoustic out there. Martin has more experience with acoustics than Gibson. If you want a Gibson get an electric from them. Although Martins are a bit pricier than Gibsons they are worth every penny.
