Summary
Body: Double-bound body with a two-piece spruce top and maple sides and back
Neck: Maple neck and rosewood fretboard with pineapple inlays
Cosmetic Condition: Beautiful! This 200 has some light checking on the body and face of the headstock. There's some finish wear around the soundhole, around a couple of spots on the sides of the body, and around the sides of the neck by the lower frets, mostly on the bass side. There's a few minor dings and scratches here and there and some light buckle rash on the back of the body. The fingerboard is a little worn down on the second and third frets and the gold tuners have some oxidation. Considering its age, this J-200 still looks and sounds great!
