Gibson / J200 Sunburst 2017 / 1968 / Guitar

Gibson 1968 J200 Reissue model with beautiful Sunburst finish, 2017 model. Gibson began making their SJ200 (Super Jumbo) in limited quantities in 1937, it was marketed as their highest-end flattop acoustic guitar. Gibson only made the SJ200 in limited quantities partly due to post-depression economics. But all this changed when Elvis appeared with his '56 SJ200, they sold quite a few more after that. This 1968 Reissue harkens back to one of the finest years of the "King of flattops". It features stunning flame maple back and sides, Sitka spruce top with sunburst finish, double antique binding, '60s era solid moustache bridge and an LR Baggs VTC pickup system to ensure it sounds just as good plugged in. This is a phenomenal instrument for strumming; it will blow you away with a warm, full-bodied and refined tonal character.  Condition of this fine jumbo is Very good; it is pretty clean with some light playwear primarily in the finish of the top with one tiny lacquer chip just below the bridge, the bridge itselfs also has a small piece missing on the treble side which probably happened when the pearl bridge inlays were removed. Finally the original pickguard was replaced. All things considered this is a great deal, new these instruments go for nearly $5500. Also included is the original hardshell case with some case candy and an owners manual/booklet.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
