Description: Up for sale, a 1995 Gibson J-200 jumbo in near-mint, 100% original condition, complete with the original hardshell case. This faithful reissue of Gibson's circa 1948 SJ-200N is finished in Antique Natural high gloss nitro lacquer, boasting a solid X-braced Sitka spruce top, paired with highly-figured bookmatched flame maple back and rims. The model described by Gibson as "King of the Flat-tops" is truly an impressive instrument both visually and sonically, and few acoustic instruments can match the sheer projection and power of a J-200. With a lower bout that's 17" in width, and a body depth of over 4 1/2", the tone of this particular Gibson Jumbo is extremely bold, full and even-sounding, with equal presence and power afforded each string. The maple back and rims ensure a strong note attack and treble detail, and the instrument offers a warm, relaxed growl emblematic of a soundboard that's had the opportunity to open up over a number of decades. Weighing 4lbs 15oz, this J-200 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with bronze 12-53 strings and easy-playing action.

The flame figuring is particularly dimensional and dynamic on the rims, and cosmetic wear is limited to just a couple microscopic marks and faint scratches consistent with extremely careful use. The original "Gibson Montana" brown tolex hardshell case with purple plush interior is included.
