This is a great time to buy one
There's so much choice out there for every budget. I recommend giving Sigma a look. They used to be owned by Martin, but they still use the same designs and build quality, but for a fraction of the price.

I tried a J200 - found it a bit cumbersome...
...probably due to my short arms and fat gut. Weren't they called 'The whispering giant' at one time because they were very very quiet for such a big guitar?

I saw John Renbourn live a couple of years ago
He was using what I can only describe as a fat guy guitar stand - a little stand to support his guitar on his lap, so that he could hold it in such a position that his rather large belly didn't inhibit his playing.

I was taught by a great, great guy
whose technique was to get you to bring him a tape of two songs you wanted to play, the next lesson he'd teach you - and afterwards show you how you got there via scales etc. It meant you were playing stuff you wanted to hear straight away so didn't get disheartened.
Really clever. Such a nice dude as well, little Californian chap.

I was 12 or 13, the chap taught electric guitar at Winchester college.
It meant we got a soundproof room in the Music Dept to crank it up with impunity.
That sounds a bit gay. It wasn't.

If I can actually sell any of this gear
I'm thinking of buying the hendrix fuzz face. I'd quite like the Joe Bonamassa one, but it's illegal in this country believe it or not. It's got some electrical component that doesn't pass H&S regulations or something.
