I’m sure you love it. I still haven’t found a J-200 better than my 630.

There aren't very many videos, but The Acoustic Shoppe got the very first one, and John Chapman kept it for himself. They've made a few cosmetic changes, but the sound is the same. Quote:
I do love it, but it took a while to get there. The guitar has a really fast attack, so I had to figure out my playing style for this guitar. And the sound needed to evolve a little, as it came straight from the factory to my hands with very little time in Pomona or at the dealer. But at nearly 1yo, it's sounding great!

The grain in the back is just breathtaking. Wow. Worth waiting for indeed!

Enjoy your gorgeous new guitar! Wish they made one like this in an OM or 00.

Eastman makes several 00 and OM guitars (note: their OM are shorter scale, so more like a CFM 000), but not with a Maple body. Mahogany, Rosewood, and Sapele (OM only) with tops in Adi, Sitka, or Cedar (depending on model).

I just ordered one from Brian at Sun Valley guitars. Man, yours looks great. I am pretty excited. I have never had a jumbo. I dont think I have ever even played one. Your review on this guitar sold me on trying one.

Hi Pure Vida!
Wow! That is the most beautiful maple guitar I have ever seen! It has flaming in two directions! I went to YouTube and found some demos of this guitar. And of course, it depends on who is playing it, but it has that classic Pete Townsend sound from the opening of Pinball Wizard. How very cool! It's also fascinating to see that two other posters have immediately ordered this same model guitar because of your NGD-Day and this thread and have wiped out the inventory of these models in North America!!! I must say, I was highly tempted to order one of these myself! I have been saved by those who acted more quickly! Congratulations on a stunning guitar! - Glenn

I do believe this is a zombie thread, but since it's here, I just bought one of these myself and they are great guitars!

Love getting a bump on an NGD thread! First, thank you for all the kind replies. I've really become attached to this guitar, which continues to get better with time. baw3, congrats on ordering one -- I hope you enjoy it and much as I do!
For the others, esp. Glenn, these are well worth the wait, if you choose to order one. In pre-COVID days, it was a 3-4 month order period. But keep checking online, as new ones pop up once in a while.
