Where to Buy

The imperials have a gear ratio of 16:1 and provide a durable housing to protect the gear and string post. The Gibson J-200 sports the traditional crown peghead logo which has been on Gibson guitars since the 1940s. The most ornamental part of the guitar is the hand-crafted circle around the soundhole which is a double-ring rosette with the main ring made up of seven-ply binding, the second ring a three-ply binding and with an albalone-filled middle. The guitar is built with hand-scalloped bracings which are placed in a pattern that is the exact same pattern that Gibson's very first 1937 super jumbo.
