Gibson / J200 / 1963 / Guitar For Sale

Introduced in 1937 as Gibson's flagship acoustic guitar, the J200 quickly became a favorite with country artists and singer-songwriters. With its imposing jumbo body and distinctive embellishments, the J200 became synonymous with big tone and visual splendor. This 1963 J200 features beautifully figured maple back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top, supported by non-scalloped X-bracing that gives the guitar its characteristic warmth and projection. The most striking feature of this guitar is undoubtedly the later-added double-engraved pickguard, a modification that immediately brings to mind Bob Dylan's legendary SJ200. This addition gives the guitar a unique and impressive appearance, with the engravings on both pickguards forming a beautifully symmetrical whole. This detail makes this guitar not only musically special but also visually unique within the J200 family, with a clear link to folk and rock history. Over the years, this J200 has successfully maintained its authentic character, although some thoughtful adjustments have been made. The side of the body on the back side has been replaced. The original adjustable bridge saddle has been replaced with a fixed saddle, with an additional piece of rosewood inserted in the closed Moustache bridge for optimal stability. The guitar has been refretted, with the fingerboard now featuring a compound radius for improved playing comfort. A crack on the top at the treble waist has been repaired, as has a crack on the lower bout on the treble side of the body. Furthermore, the binding on both the body and neck shows some small cracks, and a previously installed output jack on the side of the body has been filled. Finally, the top and back are provided with an overspray. The sound of this J200 is exactly what you'd expect from a vintage Gibson from the early '60s: full, warm, and with beautiful projection that fills any room. The combination of flamed maple and spruce creates a balanced sound with clear highs and deep, resonant bass. The flamed maple displays a beautiful grain that has only become more beautiful with age, while the crackled finish gives the guitar its unmistakable vintage look. This J200 is a guitar that not only visually impresses but also touches the musical soul with its timeless sound!

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.
