GuitarGeordie Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 An advertisement was published recently with an 'historic' SJ 200 for sale. Unfortunately there was no serial number in the text and the only photo that might have been useful, had the legible serial number redacted. This appears to have been done with an Apple pencil facility. See photo no. 3. Any thoughts? https://www.gumtree....ing-/1274056726 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalex Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I assume that's been done as a security measure. Looks like a nice guitar though. Is that a fair price in the UK for a Gibson SJ-200 works out to about $3000 over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarGeordie Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 I have been sent the following, "Serial Number 03115015 Bozeman Plant, MT, USA on November 7th, 2005 Production Number: 15." I think the 7th should be the 3rd of November but the year and rest of serial number looks OK. I think I'll go for it with a trial and a little haggle. As Jalex has said, it looks ok and the price is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 If I lost my 2004, I'd immediately start a search for another built in that era. This is definitely worth a look, notwithstanding any knowledge regarding the price being appropriate. GLuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if his last name is Jones, Williams or Evans. If not I'd pass on it😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
