#GIBSON J 200 LEFT HANDED CRACK#

This guitar is in very good shape for it's age, and has had a minor top crack on the center seam behind the bridge and under the pickguard that has been repaired. The case shows some wear & tear, but is quite sturdy & serves its purpose well.The Sunburst top on this stunning 1952 Gibson J-200 is so warm, and is the perfect visual compliment to the deep and warm tone that emanates from the Jumbo sized body of this guitar. Guitar weighs 6 lbs 3.2 oz.Р”В¬ase: The guitar is matched with a much earlier-period brown hardshell case, most likely from the '40s or '50s. We have seen this before in '60s Gibson Jumbos. And secondly, the guitar is fitted with a factory-installed interior top brace that is original to the guitar. 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.Р”В«ody: 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.
