Beautiful, big bodied Gibson. Constructed like a J-200 and based on a model only made for a year or so in 1941-42. The "regular" J100s now are basically a J200 without bells and whistles. This one, however, retains a bound neck, multiple body binding and a nice tiger stripe guard. (And a factory LR Baggs pickup, of course - very 1941!!)

Picked this up from former Gibson Artist stock so it's almost certainly been played on tour by a Gibson endorsee or two. The case is covered in gaffer tape and labels (no damage, just for identification) showing signs of life on the road.

The guitar is in decent shape but does have a few signs of playing so isn't minty mint. Nothing obvious from normal viewing and certainly nothing deep or damaging.

I spent considerable time picking this out over another J-100 in sunburst, several J-45s and and a few Atkins, too. It plays great (it's had a pro setup since) and just gets louder and louder as you strum it harder. Very little in the way of compression. If you drop the D and give it a whack the low rumble you get is glorious!

Looking for £2400. Will consider personal delivery or collection but not prepared to risk postage, sorry. Based near Farnham (trip to Guitar Village and Andertons at the same time!).
