brumsongs Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hi I have a J200 seial number 92285003 it's from the 1990's and plays/sounds absolutely beautiful. I've never seen another one this colour does anyone know if many were made? Cheers, Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george black Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I do not believe that I have seen one like that . It is totally beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Nice color! Looks like a crimson-rootbeer shade. The lower right looks darker as if it was once a burst.........true, or is it just the lighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Player Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 She is a beauty. I also have never seen one that color. From the serial number it would be a 1995 built guitar. (1st and 5th number) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend suggested it might be from the Gibson custom shop but I have no idea. Love it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Ah! The bright lights show the color better.......it's a cherry burst! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is but you can't see the burst at all in daylight, do they offer cherry burst nowadays? I only ever see tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I don't think cherry burst is offered as a stock finish on Gibsons these days, particularly not on the J200. But it does show up on some limited runs or dealer exclusives from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Em@rel Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hi brumsongs, I have the exact same cherry sunburst J200 guitar as you !. It's at a friends house at the moment so I dont have the exact serial number to hand (will be back with me in a week or two) but the serial number you quote for yours suggests to me that it was made in 1995. I bought mine in the mid/late 90's from Cranes in Wales (Swansea I think) and they had 2 of them and it took me ages to choose between them. The sales person said that they were a special order from a USA music chain and that they had managed to obtain 2 of them. Where did you get yours ?. I also have a white J200 made in 1990 which has discoloured to yellow with loads of checking on the finish - anyone have any information on those - the only other one I've seen was from a USA dealer some years ago.

KL Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yes it's a burst, very nice though. My friend has a limited edition J-200 that is (solid) cherry finish all over. It's really nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Welcome. Another unusual color. And a nicely flamed back. She's a beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Gads! Both of those are beautiful. I personally prefer the natural maple sides and back, but I wouldn't throw dirt on the cherry burst version!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
