Personal Thoughts:
This is a seriously impressive SJ-200 and one that sits well above the standard model in terms of visual impact. The Ultimate Quilt spec is the big talking point, and rightly so. Quilted maple on a jumbo Gibson already makes for a striking guitar, but paired with the abalone detailing, ebony board and moustache bridge, it pushes the whole thing into a much more luxurious bracket. The Three Tone finish sounds especially appealing on this sort of build as well, because it should show off the figuring beautifully while still keeping that classic high-end jumbo look. Underneath all of that, it is still the familiar SJ-200 recipe people want — big, authoritative, open-sounding and very expressive. A very classy Custom Shop jumbo and exactly the sort of Gibson acoustic that feels like a centerpiece instrument.

Condition Report:
Excellent condition. Presents very cleanly overall with only light signs of use.
