DenverSteve Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I believe this was one of Gibson's many limited edition (250) guitars. I don't believe that there would be any greater value on this J200 guitar than any other - except to a particular buyer who might want one. It is 15 years old and must be looked at as a 15-year old J200. IMO of course. Of course, Elvis did not make this nor was it made for him. His was a 1956.

Motherofpearl Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I've been out of the market for quite some time but they used to go for 3000. I've always wanted one. Love elvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullmental Alpinist Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Here's a listing that just appeared for a used Epiphone ej-200e to give you an idea of the prices for the Epi version. The seller's description and terms are a bit much.... Epiphone Elvis I have no affiliation with this guy or his little brother. FMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenverSteve Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Given that the guitar is worth around $350-$450 - and his horrible attitude - good luck with that. I wouldn't give him $200 for his bad attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't give him $200 for his bad attitude. I assume you are talking about the Epiphone Elvis, and not Buddy Holly's J-45 that John Thomas is holding. I think I would take Buddy's J-45 over Elvis's J-200 replica any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 If you want to see tone killer…check out this Martin Elvis edition: http://sfbay.craigsl...4781584742.html Leather cover comes in handy when you're swiveling the hips with a big belt buckle. I think this guy is off a little. They did make a limited edition but his is not one of them. Their label clearly states ## OF 175. I have the same model as his and it's not the limited. It's a real nice customized D28 with the cover removed with a Carpathian Spruce top, Grover tuners, Grained Ivoroid binding and fancy inlaids.

retrorod Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 hi, i came across this Gibson SJ200 elvis presley made in 2005. does anyone know what the value might be? Just my opinion, but that pickguard is "butt-ugly" and does not belong on a "Gibson". The following is a link to the REAL 1974 J200 Elvis guitar and 'how' it came to be. I stumbled on this while searching about a 'regular' '74 J200 sunburst up for sale in my 'neck of the woods'...I like it but I am afraid the seller 'likes it' more. I know....Norlin, double-X-braced, BUT still a good sounding and playing J200. I own a Norlin J100 (rarer) that pretty much does the same thing.....but....the sunburst 200 bling is calling my name...and associated with Elvis' custom ebony '200'....all the more special... Here is the 'story'.... http://www.scottymoore.net/ep74J200.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophekerin Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I found this one for sale. my only concern is that it is a repro. the guy is asking 750$ CAN i never seen one with two pick guards and the ‘Elvis Presley’ on the neck looks different.. what do you think? Real? Worth it? thanks for your help Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Serial number looks like an Epiphone. Neck carve is no Gibson. It is cool looking, if it played good and was the right price it may be okay but I have a thing about guitars not being what they are labeled.

Sgt. Pepper Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Yeah, that is not a Gibson serial number. And those tuners were put on by a drunk monkey. Edited October 26, 2020 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucebubs Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Anyone notice the guitar Elvis used in the movie 'Jailhouse Rock'? An Aussie made Maton jumbo! I've never seen one here. Edited October 27, 2020 by Brucebubs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
