The highest quality model produced by Gibson in 1937 under the name SJ-200. Known as the "King of Flat Tops," it continues to be loved by many country and bluegrass musicians, including Bob Dylan. This is a "J-200 Artist" manufactured in the Kalamazoo factory period from 1973 to 1975. Spruce top, maple sides and back, 3-piece maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, large pickguard, crown head logo and fingerboard position, gold keystone Kluson pegs, normal slot saddle. The Kalamazoo factory opened after relocating several times. The factory expanded in response to Gibson's growth, and has continued to create Gibson sound for nearly 60-70 years. Unfortunately, the Kalamazoo factory was closed in the early 1980s, and production of Gibson acoustics began at the Montana factory, which continues from 1989 to the present. This instrument is manufactured at the Kalamazoo factory, and although there have been some minor changes to the design such as the bridge, it has a gorgeous appearance befitting the King of Flat Tops. Flagship-like inlays, multi-layered binding, and pickguard decoration. The punchy sound, plenty of headroom for bass, and the thickness of the sound are unique to this size. The crisp, bright, loud sound with a sense of volume and explosive tone are also appealing. It has a clear and well-defined sound, so it can be played dynamically with strokes, and even with fingers, it has a slightly sweet and beautiful resonance. One that has the potential to be surprisingly versatile. This instrument has a weather-checked appearance due to its age and has a good appearance. Although there are parts where the plating on the 1st string side knob of the peg is peeling off and it looks like silver, all parts and frets are in original condition and original finish. There are some very light signs of use such as slight dents and slight scratches, but considering the model year it is in very good condition. Although the string height is slightly high by modern standards, it does not feel difficult to play and is in good playing condition. J-200 Artist is surprisingly rare. Please try the sound that is a little different from other generations.
