From first strum, you'll notice the J-200 has rumbles of richness, yet a uniformly balanced tone. Your notes sing with sustain and brightness, while a responsive nature aids your individuality to really shine through. And, with fabulous figured maple body, your playing style flourishes with sparkle where each note is heard with immersive clarity. No matter your style, you'll find true expression thrives with the J-200 in your hands. A true powerhouse, with iconic, legendary charm.

A piece of history

An icon in itself. The super jumbo has been seen in the hands of many. From Elvis and Bob Dylan to George Harrison and Noel Gallagher.
