Gibson / 1941 SJ-100
"There is something about a guitar, no matter how good it is, that just doesn't fill your heart."
Just because something sounds good doesn't mean it reaches deep into your soul."
Have you ever felt that way?
A sound that continues to ring through time.
A weight that transcends time.
It is not often in one's life that one encounters such a guitar.
I am sure that everyone has felt that music is connected to "memory" or "time.
When I encountered this instrument, I realized that the same is true for the tone of the instrument.
It is a weight that only an instrument that has lived with the times can have, and that you cannot get from a guitar that is just old.
Please try playing the phrases you usually play without thinking with the J-100 introduced here.
You will surely be moved by the phrases you are used to hearing.
This one was made in 1941.
The J-100 was born in 1939 as a practical model of the SJ-200, known as the King of Flat Tops.
In December 1941, with the U.S. entry into World War II, production of the J-100 suddenly came to an end.
Only 138 J-100s were produced that year.
A later version with a normal taper head and bad wing bridge, it has the same 17-inch wide body as the J-200, but is ruggedly cool with simplified inlays and pickguard.
The resulting sound is surprisingly rustic, powerful, and full of core resonance.
This piece was born just before the upheaval.
The moment you hear the sound, you will feel as if you are wearing the air of that era, which cannot be fully described by the word "vintage".
It is withered and somehow tinged with melancholy.
It is as if the air of the 1940s is leaking out of a soundhole filled with memories of that era.
Only 138 were produced in 1941.
And among them, there may never be another chance to encounter one in such good condition again in the future.
If it is not "specs" but "emotion" that you are looking for in a guitar, this one is the answer.
It's as if you are sounding the air of that era with a guitar.
Such an experience can only be had with a very few vintage guitars.
Please overlap your future story on the sound.
