Two things of note are the absence of the orange oval label inside the body, which most likely came unglued & disappeared quite some time ago. The back shows off some gorgeous flame figuring & the colorful, geometric center strip adds to the panache. Flame maple sides & back with 5-ply binding. Large tortoise pickguard with floral motif & multi-ring rosette. The bridge appears to have been re-glued at some point, but is quite firmly attached to the top. Rosewood end pins with pearloid dot inlays & rosewood adjustable saddle. Rosewood "mustache" bridge with mother of pearl inlays. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.īody: Jumbo size body with solid spruce top & 7-ply binding. The tuners show some tarnish & the D tuner is just slightly bent, but functions perfectly. Gold Kluson "waffle back" tuners are in perfect working condition. Bound headstock with mother of pearl holly inlay & Custom truss rod cover. Original frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them. Rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl crown inlays.
Neck: Slender profile flame maple neck with nicely aged cream binding & tortoise side-dots. It's got a great look with a beautiful vintage vibe & marvelous patina. It has been professionally inspected & set up by the experts at Cream City Music, so it's ready to play upon arrival.Ĭosmetic Condition: Amazing condition for being nearly 50 years old - not a single crack! Gently used with mild play wear - various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings surface scratches & some light finish wear. The ice tea sunburst finish is magnificent & gives the guitar that classic, true vintage look. The slender maple neck is very comfortable & plays great up & down the fretboard. The guitar has a bright, powerful voice that projects well. In fact, it spent the last twenty years he owned it tucked away in the closet after retiring from church playing. The original owner was a southern minister who played the guitar in church only & took excellent care of it over the years. What makes this guitar special: An absolutely stunning J-200 in fabulous condition! This gorgeous Jumbo was just recently acquired from the second owner, who hadn't really owned it for that long.
