Gibson SJ-200
6.330 dólares

The SJ-200 True Vintage acoustic guitar delivers the look, feel, and sound of Gibson’s original Super Jumbo as it first appeared in 1937. Gibson Acoustic’s master luthiers in Bozeman, Montana have recreated a legend. The SJ-200 was originally built to cut through the loudest acoustic ensembles, but ended up defining the new American music scene of the 1930s on its way to becoming the world’s most famous acoustic guitar. The SJ-200 True Vintage captures the deep, well-balanced tone and powerful sound of these celebrated guitars, and are almost identical in makeup and structure as the most popular 1950’s versions including an Adirondack red spruce top and VOS finish.




Gibson GB-1
Rare model and an incredible piece of American history. This is the banjo that was recorded and played by the Reverend Gary Davis. This is a non Mastertone banjo with thick, 11 inch rim and simple tonering. It has all the appropriate documentation. The original flange was broken and a replacement makes it playable once again.
