Gibson / SJ-200 EC / 2008 / Natural / Guitar
|
Listen up, cowboys! Ever wanted to have a “King of the Flattops” but were annoyed about the fully round shape? Worry not, we have a super cool cutaway version AND factory Fishman pickup. Stunning natural premium sitka top and insane AAA maple back, sides and neck.
This is the classic of classics, but a in a more “useful” presentation you can actually gig without having to mod your guitar or having to worry about those high-note passages. It features a high-end Fishman Aura Pro, which is a BIG asset, factory installed.
Take a close look at this beauty. The sitka top is flawless, but the back is absolutely SICK. Incredible 3D flame with a huge amount of movement. Same goes for the sides and the neck. Oh, the neck. As flamey as they get.
The super jumbo body will deliver those deep, rich tones this guitar was designed for, but with the added comfort and amplification.
Comestically, the guitar is as mint as they get. Maybe some of the gold from the grovers is starting to wear, but barely noticeable. It does have some fret wear in the first 3 frets, but still plenty of life left. If we had to mention anything, we could say that the pickup panel doesn’t stay fully locked when clipped in, but it’s barely noticeable and stays perfectly in place (you probably would’ve never noticed notice if we hadn’t tell you. :)
By the way, this is the only guitar from this series with no nibs from factory. In case you were wondering :)
A very rare find, comes with OHSC and paperwork.

Guitar Giraffe, Spain 
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
