hi guys,, I am very much loving this thing. It's in a league of it's own.. like playing a piano with 6 strings, that happens to fit on your lap.


I have two taylors, as well as a 78 yari DY74 dread.

one of the Taylors is in the process of being offered to a family member who has been keen on buying it should I ever get the urge to sell. At the moment, plan on keeping the other taylor, 2006 GS series. A fine guitar in it's own right and it's got some road on it, so it's a perfect gigging guitar when those occasions occur.

My Yari stays put, a magnificent 38 year old instrument, had it for so long now that selling it would not be worth the cash returned, basically be nothing more than a betrayal! :D

As it turns out, this one had a problem with the Anthem Pickup system and static discharge.

Unfortunately it is going back, and is being exchanged, (I should have the second J200 today)

check this 1 min. vid I uploaded to uTube to show the folks at Sweetwater and LR Baggs, The tech at Sweetwater says in the hundreds of J200s sold with this exact same setup this has never before happened so he's calling it defective for sure.

the guy @LR Baggs thinks it has something to do w/where the wires for the mic and saddle transducer are routed. But that's debatable.. I can make the sounds you will hear in the vid stop if I touch the mesh cable that runs to bridge where the transducer and condenser mic is installed.

The replacement has been checked out and confirmed to not have this problem as well as passing all other checks.

they should throw in something free for your trouble. That's a $3,800 guitar. Didn't someone over at Gibson plug it in and check if it works right before they shipped it? :roll: Sorry to hear it had to be exchanged, that would bug me just a little. i guess we should give the benefit of the doubt and say maybe it was damaged in shipping.

yea I suppose, btw.. the street price is $4,350

I paid $4,100 which included Over night shipping.

my hunch is it left the factory this way.

we'll see what happens from here, I'll be happy enough just to put this behind me, and receive a replacement that plays and looks as good as the first one. Sweetwater has been very responsive so I have no complaints about them what so ever.

Gibson, ya,, you think they would have caught that.. it's too obvious, I notice something wasn't right with in the first 5 minutes of plugging it in, just intermittent pops when I moved around. Took me a few days to isolate the problem to really figure out what was going tho.

those are not quite the same, as those have the Fishman Ellipse Aura Electronics, and I think that was the price before the price bump. so that could be last year stock?

The 2016s, (and the one I bought) have the LR Baggs Anthem, (which was the problem with mine)
