This is a Gibson J200 Blackie Custom. The guitar was bought directly from Swee Lee and it was a nice custom done up by Ron Fergerson the Chief Luthier at Gibson.
It spots a AAA grade Sitka spruce pair off with Flame Curly Maple. a Maple neck Gold Grover tuners with rosewood bridge and freboard. The whole guitar is sprayed Black which gives you that classy performance type of guitar used on stage.
Managed to upgrade the plastic TUSQ saddle to the FMI saddle and Fitted the LR Baggs Anthem pickup on it.
The maple tonal characteristic is that is focuses on the fundenmental notes and has a faster tonal decay. This makes it a perfect guitar for live playing in a loud band situations as it cuts above the band mix with getting it lost with the bass or the kick drums .
Enjoy the review and the pictures Cheers Jarvis
