1948 Gibson J-200 Natural

Here's a 1948 Gibson J-200. Very early maple back & sides example (Gibson switched in '47 from rosewood), that was factory refinished in 1968. The entire guitar (top to bottom) was refinished by Gibson, including the original bridge. They also put on a period correct '68 pickguard (screwed in, only done in '68), period correct tuners, as well as re-setting the neck. Serial number A1870, which is still visible on the headstock, and on the original white inside label. The guitar is crack free, and plays & sounds amazing!! Deep, full tone, that retains beautiful clarity. Not a thin sounding J-200. Playability is exceptional, with easy playing action. The frets have some life left as well. As you can see by the pictures, the flame on the maple is stunning! Very 3-D. Original 1968 hard shell case included!
