Recommended Posts

I am looking at a J-200 at the moment,

I've never bought a guitar that's more expensive than $1K on ebay before.

 

I could use your opinion please!! and thank you!

I'm not really surprised at the pickguard scratching like that.

 

I would ask, however, what you intend to use this guitar for. If you plan to plug it in, why not buy a guitar that has a built-in pickup? That bolt-on Seymour Duncan pickup is pretty mediocre.

Nice looking j200. Good luck on getting it. The pickguard has been an issue for several years. The flowers have a tendency to disappear,once they get played. Gibson sent me a new one, but I never replaced it. I wouldn't let that stop you from buying it though.

It's a looker for sure!! Nice flame.

The one in Naperville looks pretty good. I think it's an early 2000s, since it looks as if the serial number starts with a "0" (as near as I can tell). The fingerboard and bridge look to be Madagascar r/w. Similar to mine, which is a 2001. I could be off on the date, as I just can't quite make out the serial #.

 

With the Fishman Ellipse, that's a pretty sweet price. Better check and see that you're satisfied that the guitar has no issues.
