About This Listing

This '79 Gibson J-200 Artist is virtually untouched and in new-old-stock condition with only minor scuffing and a small top scratch! Plays great with smooth action for a great feel and sounds great with a focused and rich sound. This example stands out aesthetically with lovely cosmetic appointments and, of course, the oversized floral pickguard! This J-200 is just too cool, and it sounds fantastic! Includes original hardshell case. 

This instrument came from our recently acquired "Kalamazoo Collection." We acquired the collection from a married couple that worked at the original factory from the late 50s until the factory closed in June of 1984. These pieces are uncirculated and mostly untouched in mint or near-mint condition ~ The collection also includes 1000s of pieces of memorabilia, new-old-stock parts, and more ~ reach out with any/all inquiries!

Product Overview
The Gibson J-200 jumbos from the Norlin era of production were partially rebranded as the "J-200 Artist" -- even though not all of them had as much on the label. The specifications are very similar to the 1961 - 1969 models, but with easily identifiable Norlin fingerprints, like the headstock volute.
