1992 Gibson J-200 Jumbo Acoustic Guitar Vintage Sunburst, Near-Mint w/ Case
Up for sale, a 1992 Gibson J-200 in near-mint condition, complete with the original hardshell case. This faithful reissue of Gibson's circa 1948 SJ-200 is finished in Vintage Sunburst gloss nitro lacquer and was crafted during an increasingly heralded era of Gibson production colloquially known as the “good wood” era, boasting a solid X-braced Sitka spruce top paired with bookmatched flame maple back and rims.
The Jumbo 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 12oz, this J-200 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.

-Scale Length: 25 1/2"
-Nut: 1 11/16”, bone
-Tuners: Gibson Deluxe double-line, greened keystone buttons
-Serialization: Eight-digit stamp dates to ‘92

This is a crack-free Gibson, with a small binding repair on the back edge at the treble-side waist, and the gloss Vintage Sunburst nitro lacquer finish exhibits vertical checking on top. Well-kept and very clean, cosmetic wear is limited to a couple tiny marks on top at the lower bout. The smooth nitro gloss on the neck profile is flawless save for one shallow ding on the bass-side shoulder behind the 7th fret that is not distracting to the palm while fretting.
The original brown Gibson USA hardshell case is included.
