Gibson J-200 The iconic J-200 guitar from Gibson, the so called “King of the Flat tops”, has always been a favorite of performers since its introduction in 1937. However, the jumbo body size is sometimes so big that not everyone can enjoy the massive size of the Gibson J-200. The J-200is a design to produce a powerfully balanced, natural sound so closely associated with this model. The top is made Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from Koa, giving the J-200 the resonance and punch expected from a much larger guitar, with a perfect balance of sound and playability. Selecting the right wood, and the formula to dry it out, are two of the most central procedures to Gibson’s guitar-building process. Beginning with its first catalog in 1903, Gibson has assured its customers that every guitar would be built using woods with “the most durable, elastic, and sonorous qualities,” and today’s guitars from Gibson Acoustic are no different. The tortoise pickguard for the J-200 is Gibson’s standard jumbo-style shape, with a beautiful cream floral and vine design and 10 mother of pearl dots. As with all of Gibson Acoustic’s pickguards, the coloring, inlay, and binding are all done by hand. This gorgeous version of a J-200, also features an exquisite Nitrocellulose finish that shows off the Koa perfectly! This J 200 also comes equipped with an LR Baggs Anthem Pickup. This instrument is in Excellent Condition with some light pick scratches on the pickguard as well as a few light scratches on the upper bout near the treble side.
