In 1985, I brought a AS 200. I was going to get a 335, but was balking at the price. The salesman suggested I tried the Ibanez, which I ended up buying, as well as a small champ and it was still cheaper than the 335. I still have the AS 200, my forever guitar.
Thanks for sharing. I’m still looking for a decent AS 200. That’s what Scofield plays and played all his life. I couldn’t find one locally so ended up getting the JSM. One day, I hope. ✌️
Couldn’t agree more with your comment. I have both and the JSM is a much better player than the Gibson. The neck in particular is much more comfortable and the overall fit and finish is just better.

If I had that Collings JL I doubt I would ever even look at another guitar.
Amen to that!
