I have a friend who has hi Dad's early model J-200. Dad's name was Smiley Maxadon. Somewhat of a name in (Hillbilly) music from the 40's and 50's. Pretty beat up guitar. Binding falling off, may have had some other issues. I can't recall, I only saw it once. But the tone that came out of it was unlike any guitar I had ever heard. Full and rich. Every note articulated. Balanced very well. And this was on strings that had to be 20 years old.
