Gibson SJ-200 1997, Natural

Gibson ran the Super Jumbo out of the Bozeman plant through the '90s, and this 1997 example comes from that stretch of production. It's built with flame maple back and sides under a spruce top, finished natural instead of the sunburst most people picture when they hear "SJ-200," so the wood grain is on full display here. The moustache bridge and crown-inlaid peghead are both intact, along with the multi-ply body binding that's been part of this shape since Gibson first built it for singing cowboys in the late '30s.
