Gibson / 1939 Centennial Collection SJ-100 made in 1994
A reissue model of the 1939 SJ-100, made in a limited run of only 100 guitars as part of Gibson's centennial commemorative project.
Gibson, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1994, planned the "Centennial Collection," a monthly reissue of historic acoustics. Each model was produced in a limited run of 100 units, and the one released in June was this 1939 SJ-100.
The original SJ-100, released in 1939 and gone by the early 1940s, was a short-lived model from the production period of just a few years, featuring the same super jumbo body as the SJ-200, combined with a spruce top and mahogany back and sides. This reissue also faithfully recreates the era's distinctive features, such as the stepped steershead and ebony moustache bridge.
On the other hand, the neck shape is thinner than the original and offers a comfortable grip that modern players can easily get used to. The sound from the 17-inch body combines ample volume and punch, and delivers a rich, rounded jumbo sound with a mahogany character.
