The Gibson J-200 Studio Walnut, finished in Walnut Burst, certainly turns heads, with its Walnut back and sides, and Sitka Spruce top. This tonewood pairing is perfect for modern singer/songwriters, with crispy and bright highs, extra powerful lows, mids with plenty of presence, and just enough twang. The subtle nuances of these tonewoods aren't lost when plugging in the J-200 Studio Walnut, thanks to a Fishman Sonitone pickup.
It's not just the tonewoods that set the J-200 Studio Walnut apart from other J-200's - modern design updates include a slimmer body thickness, for greater comfortability when both standing and sitting, as well as the Gibson Advanced Response neck profile, for increased playability and comfortability along the whole neck.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we like the J-200 Studio Walnut, in Walnut Burst, for its modern update of a classic design. The use of Walnut gives the J-200 Studio Walnut a tone that sits nicely between Mahogany and Rosewood, a great tonal pairing with vocals. Greater playability and comfortability will give the J-200 Studio Rosewood increased longevity on stage, and in the studio.
