MissouriPicker Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The Gibby super jumbos are world class guitars. The Gibson bashers are not fond of them, but they've got taste-for-xxxx, so who cares. I used to play a J100 at GC all the time. It was bibinga with a spruce top, I think. I already had a J150, so I wasn't in the market for one, but it was a very nice instrument. Big, powerful, yet gentle on the fingers. The super jumbos are thunder in a wooden box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sboiir Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 OK...that worked, frenchie1281734003 - I briefly described my J100-c w/ pic. It's not for sale. I can't replace it. 1 of 25 made. It's #25. But as I wrote previously, the jumbo is getting to be too big for me to handle ( I've even got into ukes in the last few years for that reason. (will send pic). I am willing to trade my extra for a smaller body Gibson though. Of coarse "The Kind", right?.... If you haven't tried ukes in your collection...haha they are a smile machine. Tried to send a pic of my latest uke, but not enough K's to attach. Don't know why it's only 395kb ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 . Welcome. Beautiful looking J-100. Great looking back. The graining is really nice on both the back and sides. I also like the dark color of the rosewood. A real standout example. Congrats. . B) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest J-Doug Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 For some reason, it looks like Gibson had some really nice figured bubinga in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62burst Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Welcome, Russ. Congrats on the J-100. Looks like a nice one. Those photos look familiar... did you find it online? Also- As we're talking about all of the different variations of the J-100, Rivington Guitars (NYC) has a re-issue SJ-100 that's pretty close to how they originally came. Except for the scary screwed-down pickguard (off of an SJ-200?). It might not have the individually adjustable string saddle bearings, but check out the stair-stepped headstock & how the bridge pins follow the contour of the bridge; compliments the shape of the moustache bridge nicely. From Rivington's website (also on ebay, but w/less pics): http://www.gbase.com/powered/geardetails.aspx?dealer=745b3089-99e1-4384-8763-845057ec7bf7&item=2998617# able to zoom in on bridge pic on ebay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/370614200174?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
