JM1000 vs J200

[Doubleneck]

Beside the carbonation is there any difference between Rainsong and the Gibson icon?

very famous and well known, and believed to represent a particular idea

The jumbo everyone copied,

These measurement were on another webpage of the Gibson J200:
The upper bout is 12.25", waist is 10.25", lower bout is 17", depth is 4.75" lower and 4" upper, body length is 21", total guitar lenth is 41.75".

Only difference is the depth of the JM1000 is 5 inches at the endplug, everything else is spot on.

I like J200 and have RS Jumbo, as well.
IMO J200 is more fun, IT IS iconic guitar.

Is that because it has a mustache bridge!? Lol. I had a Gibson 1939 J100 Centennial edition made in 1993. Only a 100 made, it was cool, gave it to my son. The look was "Iconic" sunburst, mustache bridge but every year the season changes would cause such gyrations to the set up? Shim out, the shim in, truss rod tweaks. I never have had a guitar move so much. The Rainsong is rock solid, and now is my sound norm.

Tune my JM1000 once a month (really!), lightest full-size acoustic I own, loudest flattop I own, sounds as good plugged in as not, and I paid a little more than half the price of a J-200 when I bought mine - no-brainer in my book...
