How much does the J&D weigh?

been umming and ahhing all week about a new set of strings for my Ernie ball sting ray , was gonna get flats then umm ill stick with the rounds but after watching this I'm gonna give the flatwounds a go , I to have bad squeaky technique haha NIce one pal.

I've got one and it's AMAZING. Like you said, it sounds great and the build quality is impressive for the price. I mean solid wood acoustics are typically at least double the price. The only thing that stops it from being perfect is the cheap crappy tuners they put on the Naked series. All the other Faith ranges have Grover tuners which I wouldn't have minded paying a bit extra for. Other than that, it's a great guitar and I'm saving up for the HiGloss rosewood version.

My first and only acoustic is a 1993 Yamaha FG400A.

Great review, nice to get a proper evaluation without the playing.

Hey mate, I loved your videos and decided to reshape my pb50'headstock. Could you please let me know where I could download an actual size headstock template. Thanks Pete

Hey Paul, your headstock mod looks quite stunning and is something I also desperately want to do, but after hours of searching, I drew a blank on the template as the previous link you posted no longer works Could you supply another link please? Great job all round!!!

i think i've played one sigma, i forget what i thought of it, but i'd never buy one cause i'd buy a martin instead, okay if you're on a budget i won't knock that, but if you want a martin, don't settle, get a martin. what could be worse? buying a sigma gibson. it looks fabulous, all the demos i've watched sound fabulous, but if you want a gibson j200 and can't afford one, well i'd buy another £600 guitar that's original. i mean even epiphone do a decent copy for £350 used. i didn't know sigma and martin had parted company, so, that makes part of my comment irrelevant. furthermore though, my advice is to go out to music shops and play as many guitars as you can lay your hands on, sooner or later one will stand out and it matters not one whit how much it costs or who made it, if it has that "thing" then that's all you want. i've been willing to take the risk and i buy from ebay and if i get a pup then i just sell it on, but i've accumulated four really lovely guitars doing that, a maton ebg101TE, a larrivee OMO3 zebra wood, a 69 epiphone texan and my little plastic martin that's the tops. i have a 2000's gibson J35 that's pretty damn good too, all bought for a fraction of retail price, all outstanding to look at and play.

Józsikám, de egy bánat hangszerkezelést prezentálsz. Nyakat ménem mondod mekkora egy Geddy Lee-hez képest?! Pont mindenről beszélsz, csak a lényegről nem…

Sok a duma batya!

I've had one of these for over a year and it's a wonderful guitar. It is a perfect physical copy of a J-200 in all dimensions except one. And that one is a winner in my book. The thicker C shaped neck is a robust 1+3/4" in width and has a nice comfortable feel. Gibson/Epiphone have various nut/fretboard widths but usually about 1+11/16" in width. I have a bought-new 35 year old rosewood Gibson J-200, a rosewood Taylor 818e Grand Orchestra (Jumbo variant sound-alike), an Epi IBG J-200 (which is not to spec; slightly smaller), and a laminate B&S Epi EJ-200. I ranked these in terms of sound. The Sigma compares favorably sound-wise to the first two (not quite there), has (for me) maybe the best neck of the bunch, and cost-wise is the best bang for the buck overall. And that despite the laminate B&S. I find that big Jumbo laminates have rewarding voices all out of proportion to their humble origins. No, it is not better than a good Gibson J-200, but is simply Wow. As you can tell, I do like Jumbo guitars a lot, and the Sigma is a great instrument in my book. Be well an play well, Don

Stop talking. Play something))))))

I'm looking at a J&D MMB bass (Music Man Singray bass copy). It's at a similar price point to the bass you review in this video and as such I imagine the hardware and electronics are of similar quality. Whether or not it ends up being as good as I hope (or as good as your bass) if I buy it, it seems nonetheless that you have found yourself a fine instrument here It's also nice to see that I'm not the only one in the music world who is indifferent about what brand my headstock decal shows (I feel like the only one sometimes); my first 4 string bass was an EastCoast PJ4-BK bass (Fender PJ bass copy) that only cost me around £120 new, which has served me very well (the only thing that should matter)

John Deacon used flats. Also Steve Harris.

Sounds great.

Got this but never use coz my fingers are small. Full scale is not my friend but minis and electric guitar.

I’m sold.

Thank you for putting the time and effort into making and posting this video for us to watch and listen to. ❤

You don't half talk alot!

Very good video, where does the battery go?

Puoi fare un demo solo demo senza parlare ? Con altre tecniche

You mention USA vs China, there's my reason right away for buying from China , I refuse to buy anything or contribute it any way to America's "Proxy wars" what their doing now and have been for some time disgusts me. I have a sigma that's over 50 years old and still going strong.

Mine did not come with hi mass bridge, slightly thicker bent steel with saddle height adjustment grooves in metal ,I buffed the neck with rubbing compound to a semi gloss finish and replaced the tone capacitor supertech mpt .047mfd, works for me love it and sounds great.

Hi, I want one but I m out of uk.😊

Bad guitar, Epiphone texan the best guitar you can get before,now solid models.

I bought mine in 1998 and its rang like a bell ever since. This one does have bracing in back and the mustache bridge on mine is matte not glossy like yours. It is a rare bird and I like that Ren Ferguson was so involved in the making of the series.

Is the pickguard smooth or sharped? The unboxing shows some irregularities on the borders of the shape..that's the reason I haven't ordered yet :)

The sigma is better sound for your voice.

This is the best guitar you can buy in professional mode,trust me, I played an a Gibdon and the experience it is big deception because it cost 5000 and doesn't sounds better than a the Sigma 5 times more. Sigma in sound is 9 and Gibson 10. This point the diference doesn't cost 4000 eur so sorry. In Studio when you are recording with all the instruments the brands nobody can see it them. I just bought one yesterday and trust me with good pro setup this guitar is a big monster with ebony/bone pins... Oh my good!! Do you have the guitar? It works right after the time? Better sound? You are welcome in my chanel if you like dance music.

LOVELY tune! Beautiful chord progression!

Congrats with getting this new axe!

Nice review, I just played my late dads this morning and it’s a really lovely sounding thing and there’s not much on the net to find out more about them

Very kool! I got one back in 2001. It’s a ‘98, and like you said there just wasn’t a whole lot of info about them. The one I got looked unplayed with plastic still on the scratch plate. It is a beautiful guitar for being one of the lower end models. And of course sounds brilliant. Good luck with it! 😎🤘

Nah... Gonna go with yamaha fg red label, or recording king rd 328

Just ordered my epiphone dove pro white limited edition this morning and I am very much looking forward to getting my hands on it sometime shortly after July 4th

It doesn't look as thick from back to front as a Gibson J200 ....is it ?

Just bought a set of these, hoping to have them fitted to a fender American performer p-j configuration bass three colour sunburst with black pick guard and maple neck with rosewood fretboard, can't wait to hear how it sounds.

How depressing the audience are obviously not listening as their chatter is louder than the artiste who they obviously haven't come to see otherwise they wouldn't be talking through the set. You get the impression that they have just turned up cos its an open mic set and their mates going on in 15mins. I don't know why you bother mate, hope you were well paid at least. I suppose it would have been marginally worse if there were absolutely no one there.

I had one of the earlier J200s AMI made which were the better ones imho because they had rosewood fretboards instead of the man made synthetic micarta. The best ones can be identified by the Martin style Sigma style script logo on the headstock. Your guitar which has micarta fretboard I can tell because you have the 70's style Sigma styling on the headstock.

I recently bought a surf green bass for 85 Euro's. Couldn't be happier. I lowered the action to my liking. And it's awesome. I will do some shielding to get rid of very, very light buzz, but nothing more. I have Sire V3 and I like the J&D more.

I bought an Epiphone Dove Pro and I was disappointed in the sound. I like the build quality (Indonesian) so I straightened the neck a little,redressed the frets and bought a bone saddle that I lowered and the sound difference is amazing.

Hi mate. It's Tomasz from Banbury. Could you point me to direction where I could buy decent jb neck for bass project? Kind regards

nice review mate. i wan going to get the inspired by gibson epi j200. Think ill get this. Did you try the all solid wood epiphone j200?

Just love this song.. but then l love all of his songs x

Great demo Paul , any more info would be appreciated as I think this is going to be my next guitar .

Hi, i wanna know what is the difference between sigma gja-sg200 and gja-sg200+ ?? Could you please explain it for me Thanks in advance

A bass guitar comparison without playing a single note. Brilliant

what is the weight?

Just got one, swapped the neck, refinished the original neck with satin CrystaLaq before attempting to resell (still languishing on classifieds,) completely swapped controls and pickups, original ceramic magnet pickups were awful, chrome on the bridge was bubbling and saddle height screws was bent, so required replacement w/AllParts vintage bridge. Essentially $270 US for a new body and pickguard so as you managed to, buying used is essential.

flats just emphasise the fundamental note without all the overtones... sound great for chords, lots of definition.
