Furthermore, it features a cursive logo on the headstock reminiscent of the pre-war era and traditional-style position markers.RecruitThese features, befitting an anniversary model, are sure to appeal to enthusiasts. Incidentally, this model was a favorite of David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and was used during the "Division Bell Tour."

Gibson J-200 "Sparkle Sunburst" '91 #19910006

This 1991 Custom Shop "Jumbo 200" is a special item, as evidenced by its serial number starting with "1991-". A luxurious version featuring meticulously crafted flower vine detailing from the pickguard to the fingerboard and headstock. The gold sparkle with gold flecks applied to the body purfling, back center line, soundhole, sides of the fingerboard, and around the headstock exudes overwhelming individuality and luxury, making it a foreshadowing of the later 100th-anniversary edition that made extensive use of sparkle. The superb sound is a perfect blend of the clarity characteristic of maple and the deep reverb typical of the Jumbo.
