Gibson--Day 24

The J-100.  I don't know.  By now you know how I feel about jumbo guitars, especially the J-200--but the J-100?  Every one I have ever played has been just a little disappointing.  With nothing specific to criticize  it just doesn't measure up to the J-200.  The J-185 Everly Brothers model was specifically manufactured as a rock and roll flat top.  Having that, the J-200, and if you wish to come down from the J-200 you have the fabulous J-45, SJ etc...  I personally would not miss the J-100.  Even if you could find one with that big, boomy, jumbo sound--we already have the awe inspiring J-200.
