Gibson SJ-200 Palace Gallery #03 (2015)
Here we are dealing with one of the rarest jumbo acoustic guitars made by Gibson. It is #3 of only six unique guitars built as part of the "Gallery Edition". Here you can really find only the finest specs that should make this guitar the crowning glory of any acoustic collection: Three-piece back with gorgeous pearl binding, solid Sitka spruce top in sunburst, Grover Imperial tuners with pearl buttons, and in the ebony fingerboard some of the most intricate inlay work we've ever seen. It's not just a showcase piece though, it sounds and plays just great. The neck, with its slim D-profile, plays like itself with a dream string action. Not only visually, but also sonically an absolute Highlite. The guitar has a small play mark on the front of the top (a few millimeters, see picture 11), otherwise it is in top condition and almost unplayed.
