Only about 900 were produced during this decade, making vintage originals extremely rare and highly coveted by collectors. Despite being considered by many as Gibson's finest post-WWII flat-top, it was discontinued in 1959 and remained out of production for over 30 years until reissued in 1990. It shares its Sitka top and jumbo shape with the SJ-200 but features a 16” lower bout and a shorter 24.75\" scale length, which provides lower string tension and easier playability, as well as different cosmetic appointments. The maple back and sides provide a quick note decay and high-end shimmer, making it a favorite for studio recording and singer-songwriters who need clarity without overwhelming bass. The \"Demo\" engraving on the back of the headstock indicates this guitar was destined for artist demonstration \/ promotional purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU PURCHASES ARE DELIVERED WITH TAXES AND DUTIES PAID\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll purchases include EU taxes\/duties paid, i.e., nothing further is due on receipt of goods to any EU state.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY BUY FROM US\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe are one of the world's leading specialists in used and vintage gear with over 30 years of experience.
