Gibson Custom J200 Parlor Antique Natural #22405025

The Gibson SJ200, with its substantial size and lavish ornamentation, has long been known as the King of Flattops. The Custom Shop in Bozeman, Montana, carefully considered their top-of-the-line model when designing this parlor, as it truly is a scaled-down version!

The J200 Parlor boasts the exact same features as its bigger brother, but in a smaller size. Gibson has fitted the guitar with a flamed maple body and a Sitka spruce top with scalloped X-bracing. The body has shrunk in width from approximately 17 inches to 15 inches, while retaining almost the same depth. This gives the guitar a very mature sound with deep bass and beautiful note articulation, and thanks to the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup, it's also easy to use amplified.

The Antique Natural nitrocellulose-finished body features the signature engraved pickguard and mustache bridge, while the neck is adorned with a mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlay and binding similar to the body. As befits Gibson, this guitar is exceptionally playable, and its shorter scale length makes it a comfortable size.

However you play this small flattop, it sounds rich and deep, and is suitable for both simple chords and extended leads. The guitar comes in a hardshell case with a certificate of authenticity.
