It's difficult to believe this amazing instrument 40 years old, difficult only until you strum it. The warmth that resonates from its Spruce top and Maple back/sides is unparalleled among modern guitars. A near pristine natural finish with almost no checking, an ebony fingerboard featuring classy crest "Pineapple" inlays, and original, yet uncommonly found, the super flam make this J-200 really something special.

When this model was introduced in 1938, it was known as the Super Jumbo (SJ-200). Some prototypes made during late 1937 were labeled "Super Jumbo" and "L-5 Spec." In 1939, this model was renamed the Super Jumbo 200. In 1947, it was renamed in the company catalogs to the J-200. However, many instruments continued to be labeled SJ-200 well into the early 1950s. Pre-war instruments should be determined on a piece-by-piece basis as opposed to the usual market, as this model and many of Gibsonīs high end instruments were not manufactured during the war - thus, there simply arenīt that many guitars available in the secondary marketplace. When this model was originally released, it featured a single peghead binding. In 1948, Natural finish became an option. In 1960, adjustable saddle bridge became an option. In 1961, tune-o-matic bridge with pearl block inlay replaced original part/design. In 1969, adjustable saddle became standard. In 1971, ebony fingerboard replaced original part/design, non-adjustable bridge replaced previous part/design. In 1979, rosewood fingerboard replaced previous part/design. In 1985, mustache bridge with pearl block inlay replaced previous part/design, multi-bound peghead replaced original part/design. In 1994, Antique Ebony finish was introduced, pearl crown fingerboard inlay, gold hardware replaced previous part/design. In 1996, the ī50s Super Jumbo 200 model superseded the J-200 model (see listing below).
