The guitar on the right is most definitely a Gibson J-200 in sunburst. If you're looking for one on a budget check out the Epiphone version.

this is correct
i have the ej300 epi version, it's pretty nice actually, i like it a lot. very fat, lower midrangey tone, works best with big heavy strings

My friend has the Epiphone version too.
I haven't played it but he says it's nice.
I doubt its ever played anything except Oasis :rolleyes:

j45 was the first model that came into my head. oh and my god punchdrunk you have a lovely guitar

Hi Woop,
The guitar in the video is the Gibson J-200 as I mentioned above. This guitar or the Epiphone version are not available on the Thomann website although you should be able to find them elsewhere. The J-200 has a different body shape to the dove and the hummingbird. In my opinion its a nicer shape.

The Epiphone version is the EJ-200, but as deaddonkey said above there's also the EJ-300 (like deaddonkey's guitar). This one costs a bit more than the 200.
Here's a link to the EJ-200 on the Epiphone website...

I hope this helps, keep in mind that the guitar pictured on the website is the natural version but a sunburst version is also available.

Ibanez make some pretty nice acoustics.
