Maybe I can get some help here.

I’m in the process of juggling the 4-5 acoustics I use for work.
Although I’ve owned many different types and models, I’ve never had a jumbo Gibson type J-200. Of the ones I have played in stores, to my ear, the rosewood model was the only one to impress me.
With this said, I’ve seen comparisons with I believe is the Guild F-55E. I’d honestly rather go Guild but in my area, even with all the shops we have, nobody has one in stock. I’ve seen 2 videos on you tube and with me I’d really want the chance to play it before making a major investment.

Any F-55E owners out there and any thoughts or comments how they stack up against the J-200 Gibson offers.

Further thoughts on Guild acoustics:

Is it just my imagination or do 90% of the models only come in 1 11/16 but width?

This thread is very interesting to me since I spent hours looking at used J200s recently. However, now I am no longer looking!
