Thanks to everyone. It really is a great player and a good looker as well. I’ve had other parlors but didn’t ever bond with them but this one is a keeper.

What a cool little guitar! I had no idea they were even made. I've often admired the SJ200's but considered them too large for me practically speaking. Now you've gotten me thinking. Uh-oh....enjoy it!

Most parlors don't come with a pick guard because they don't supply the headroom to be strummed. How does this gorgeous guitar sound strummed?

It has a good sound when strummed. I’m not really a finger picker anyway. I can’t comment on headroom as I don’t understand it on an acoustic, but there is good bass and good volume. Actually the sound is more pleasing to me than my Martin 000-15. Oh, and my L-00 has a pick guard too.

Is this a new model? I’ve never even heard of it. I thought the next one down was a J-185. Would love to see a shoot out between a J and the parlor. I love my J-200, it is a rhythm machine. So I’m really curious how the size would affect the tone and playability.
Congrats on the new Gibson!

Congrats, I recently got a Rosewood back and sides J165 that I really like. I believe dimensions are the same but I don't have that big ol' cool pickguard on me one..

This one doesn't have the deep bass grunt of a full sized SJ-200. It has it's own voice though and I really like it. Playability to me is better since my shoulders no longer like dreds or larger.
