George Harrison owned and famously played a Gibson J-200 from the same year, cementing this guitar’s place in rock history. He used his J-200 extensively for composing and recording during The Beatles’ later years, an era defined by iconic albums like Abbey Road. Remarkably, he later gifted his J-200 to Bob Dylan, further enhancing its legendary status.
 
This late-1967 model showcases a Sitka spruce top paired with a striking maple back and sides, highlighted by exceptionally flamed maple on the sides and neck. These dramatic flame patterns lend the guitar an unparalleled elegance, making it as visually stunning as it is sonically magnificent.
 
What truly sets this J-200 apart are its thoughtful updates. Unlike earlier 1967 models, this guitar is equipped with original Grover tuners, an upgrade introduced in late '67. Renowned for their reliability and smooth operation, these tuners ensure precise tuning stability while maintaining the instrument's vintage authenticity.
 
The bridge has also been professionally modified for superior performance. Originally featuring a Tune-O-Matic design, it has been converted to a fixed saddle, significantly improving tone transfer between the strings and the guitar’s top. This enhancement delivers richer sustain and resonance. Additionally, the bridge has been expertly reglued to ensure long-term stability and durability.
 
Owning a vintage Gibson J-200 is like holding a piece of music history. Whether you’re a professional seeking unmatched tonal quality, a collector searching for an iconic instrument, or simply someone who admires masterful acoustic craftsmanship, this late 1967 Sunburst Gibson J-200 meets every expectation.
This guitar comes with its original Gibson vintage hard case, complete with a beautiful purple interior.
