I was going to say ... one.
If they sold it they were going to make another one.




Great guitars, just unsure about that color.

Aw, come on, guys, that'll do until they can find a really green one.

Wow, didn't even know that existed.

No idea how many they made, sorry, but I like it.

I generally go for understated guitars, but if I were going play something with a mustache bridge, big fretboard inlays, and decorated pickguard, I'd want to go all out with a bright color, too. No point in being timid about it. Besides, green's my favorite color.

They probably built a few hundred.

Keep in mind "limited edition" doesn't mean it's actually rare. It rather reflects the limited market for these guitars.

I'm all about spartan appointments on guitars. Even the abalone rosette on my J15 is a bit much for me, but I like this J200 in green. I'm with cmd612, if you're going to play a J200, you might as well go all in.

I think it is pretty.
Folks will like what they like.
I tend to like the look of wood, but if I had a painted guitar, this green or black would do just fine. If it sounded good, I'd proudly play it.

I know Wildwood Guitars has sold at least two of these and no longer have any in stock.

I think it looks really cool! But, I couldn't spend actual dollars from my actual wallet on it!

There are not enough green guitars in the world. Last green one I had was a Rosetti in 1969
