I had a nice Hondo copy of one years ago... probably should have kept it.

For me, I just can't bring myself to like any acoustic with an opaque finish. My first thought is always "Why did they paint it? What horrible things is that paint there to hide?" and I could own one for years and still think that.
Different matter in an electric (where, after all, the timber doesn't matter the way it does on an acoustic).
(One exception: I don't mind opaque finishes on a carbon fibre guitar where, after all, there is no timber. Every so often I think about buying an Emerald as a travel guitar.)
I've always sort-of-hankered after a J-200, never had the chance to play one though.

The J200 is very nice though.
I recall reading that the huge dual pickguards have a deadening affect on the soundboard....so maybe it is just a very pretty but expensive Gibson.
Still a 'wuff' acoustic for me though

I'm actually more into the Everley Brothers the older I get, but I take your point. They were a favourite of my Pa. Still are, probably. When I really got into 50's RnB and RnR, they started to make total sense to me.
