$8k new before adding electronics. Unparalleled vintage aesthetics and tone for true Gibson acoustic enthusiasts. Skip the 30-month waitlist. This is a rare, small-batch Made to Measure (M2M) SJ-200 in factory Ebony Black, custom-built for Tone Shop Guitars in Dallas.
🥼 MURPHY LAB SPECS
🔥 Fully Torrefied (Baked) Sitka Spruce top over fully Torrefied Flamed Maple back/sides. Entire guitar body is factory aged.
🔊 Bone-dry tone that is massive and open like a true 1950s jumbo with piano-like bass and zero boominess.
💫 Aesthetics:
🆕 Built late Oct. 2024, first sold in early 2025. Officially marked as Light Aged on the COA, but the factory finish offers deep weather-checking yielding a more premiere aesthetic and footprint at the light-aged price point, noting Gibson's heavy-aged models are significantly more expensive.
💫 Professionally luthier-installed K&K Pure Mini passive pickup with an expanded endpin jack, no batteries, zero preamp clutter.
💫 Condition is excellent. Always kept in a humidity-controlled environment. Includes premium original Custom Shop case, COA, factory tags, and original paperwork.
💫 VALUE CLARITY
Reflects extreme rarity of the factory Ebony Black finish, which historically commands a significant premium within Gibson's acoustic lineup over the traditional sunburst.
🗓️ Bypasses the standard 30-month Custom Shop waitlist entirely @ $2,000 below their new price tier for equivalent new dealer inventory.
