Dont get turned off that its a J-100 and not a J-200. Its in no way any poorer sounding than the more famous cousin.

I have a 2002 J-150, which is a J-200 without binding, and in all seriousness it smokes pretty much every new J-200 Ive compared it against. Take a listen to this sample i made sometime ago with my guitars with new strings.

In a poll of which sounded best the J-150 came first, even though guitars like the HB TV is almost three times the price.

If it feels like it sounds good its probably because it really does sound good .. if that makes sense.

Anyway ... here's the shootout if you want to take a look.
