Originally introduced as Gibson's highest end flat top in 1937, the Gibson Super Jumbo 200 - would maintain as one of the most sought after instruments from the company for now close to a century. Production quantities would be small for these coveted high end instruments, with varying design elements changing throughout the eras since its inception.
This example revisits the highly revered 1940-50's era instrument, with the Maple and Red Spruce construction combination that continues to impress players and collectors alike The large 16 7/8" body seen here with iconic mustache bridge and its custom leather tooled pickguard. Perfect for strummers and songwriters looking for a powerful cannon of a guitar for accompaniment. It has a 25.25" scale length, a 1.75" nut width - a rosewood fingerboard, fully bound with pearloid block inlay. This example was a special edition for Rochester NY's House Of Guitars in 2010. Sonically this is an impressive guitar as one would expect. Powerful and rich, it has a great balanced voice that would serve the right singer.
This particular example comes to us in great condition, having been well cared for by its original owner. Cosmetically, only light surface wear is present, with mild finish shrinkage around the Gibson logo in its headstock. It has a nicely flamed Maple back & sides with the traditional scalloped X braced Spruce top. The neck angle is great from the factory (a nice high time for the Gibson Acoustic shop), yielding easy to play action measuring 5/64" in height at the twelfth fret of the sixth and first string - the saddle standing nice and tall. The guitar previously had a Fishman Eclipse Aura pickup installed which has been removed but included in the sale. One might consider reinstalling the original pickup, or choosing something to their liking. The original pickguard is also included, but has began to bend a bit over time and might not stay flat. The frets are in great shape with next to no wear and clean nibbed binding. Original Gold tuners present, with "Gibson Custom Shop" at the back of the peg head.
Includes the original hardshell case.
