2003 Gibson J200 1960’s Authentic – £3499

NEW ARRIVAL The Gibson J200 is one of the most loved acoustic guitars ever made. Its signature bright / full sound has been captured on countless records. With Gibson’s J200 1960’s Authentic, made in limited numbers, they tried to make a modern J200 with an authentic vintage tone. This model was put together by a very small team in Montana and the quality really shows. Gibson have done their very best to make this a period-accurate acoustic guitar. It’s been made using hide glue to bind it all together, which creates the most solid connection between woods, allowing all the individual parts of the guitar to work as one for the ultimate resonance and sustain. The guitar has a smoother hand rubbed and oiled fingerboard and bridge, and the nitrocellulose lacquer is hand rubbed to create a vintage finish. The classic pickguard contrasts beautifully with the dark honey top. The guitar is in good, played condition. There’s a couple of scars on the top, and two marks on the back of the neck from a guitar stand. The neck feels comfortable and the action plays very easily. The guitar has an active Fishman pickup fitted, and comes in it’s original hard case.
