Guild vs Gibson jumbos
I have a Guild jumbo, with rosewood b&s, and have played quite a few of them, both in maple and rosewood over recent years and have never come across one that wasn't a fine guitar. Now, because it's a classic, I want to like the J200 and whenever I come across one in a shop I give it a try and they all sound kind of dead to me, which is how most Gibsons sound to me. Maybe it's my aging ears, maybe it's because I love Guilds. However as a plus for Gibson, there are few better musical sights than Emmylou with her J200!
