THE J-200

Actually this is only a J-150 - it's exactly the same guitar minus a few fancy bits - I had to re-fret it this afternoon & was astonished at the quality of tone when I re-strung it. Abnormal for a modern Gibson!

The J-200 was indirectly responsible for my becoming a professional musician - it was being played by a certain Yorkshire "folksinger" at a gig in Exeter University while I was working at the Honiton Pottery as a "designer".

"Good grief', I thought - "If he can get away with crap like that, I should really give this a shot!!"
