A 1997 Ron Wood Signature model, limited to just 100 pieces worldwide!
This is a 1997 Gibson Acoustic Montana Factory Custom Shop Ron Wood Signature J-200?a model rarely seen even on the secondhand market, where such instruments are scarce worldwide.
The orange label features the printed text “Style: RWAN (Style: Ron Wood Antique Natural), LIMITED EDITION, 35 of 100 for 1997,” as well as “Ron Wood’s handwritten signature.”
This instrument is now in its 29th year since manufacture.
・Finish Condition: There is peeling due to cracking and thinning of the lacquer across the entire body; however, given the age of the instrument and the nature of the N.C. lacquer finish, this appears to be an unavoidable result of aging. Additionally, there are no visible marks from buckles or rivets on the back of the body.
One noticeable dent is visible on the neck grip, and several others are present on the body.
There are also traces of pick scratches and scuff marks, but none appear to have penetrated the wood; therefore, considering the year of manufacture, the instrument is in excellent condition.
・Condition of the body top: There is a dent of less than 2 mm in the area below the soundhole, and a bulge of less than 5 mm under the bridge; however, these are signs of gradual deformation caused by string tension.
・Since the 6th-string peg had become warped and lost some torque, it has been replaced with a GOTOH SD90-SL-GG. The original 6th-string peg?a Japanese-made (GOTOH) peg stamped with “Gibson Deluxe”?is also included.
・Fret Condition: These are the original small-sized frets. There are no irregularities in their shape, nor are there any visible signs of wear.
