100th Anniversay Custom SJ-200
This 90-piece limited edition was released to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Gibson's founding. Mahogany neck and Indian rosewood sides and back give this guitar a wonderful volume and core sound. The tone is different from that of the maple version, and the tightness of the tone is very attractive. Furthermore, the headstock's written logo, reminiscent of the pre-war period, and traditional-style position marks make this an anniversary model with specifications that tickle the fancy of the enthusiast. Incidentally, this model was a favorite of David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, who used it on the "Division Bell Tour.
