Very warm & colourful. Hardly no difference with the sound of the original J200 by Gibson.

Very well made by the Terada factory in the 70's and also very close to the original in almost every detail.
Reliability/Durability

Well mine is already 27 years old, I've only once repaired the headstock with the Machine-heads while there was a burst in the wood near the machine-heads. After repair everything was back to normal. This one will last like all other Terada guitars by the way

Well just 1 great guitar like all other Terada I guess. Every owner is mentioning the sound, one of the best features of the guitar. It survives with all famous brands.
