Gibson / 1992 J-200
This model dates back to the pre-war period.
In 1937, Ray Whitley, a popular western movie actor and singer, and Gibson teamed up to produce this guitar. At the time, it was considered effective to promote new guitars by producing and selling models based on popular movie actors. The gorgeous decorations and large body may have been designed to catch people's attention.
Since its release in 1938, it has been used by many musicians including Elvis Presley, Bob Duran, George Harrison ( The Beatles ), Jimmy Page ( Led Zeppelin ), Pete Townsend ( The Who ), Emmylou Harris, Edge ( U2 ), Ron Wood ( Rolling Stones ) and many other musicians.
The one introduced here is a Montana factory unit made in 1992.
This 30 year old Warrior with checkered paint job has a very austere and dignified appearance.
And the sound has the lows and reverberations of a rosewood body rather than the crisp sound of maple.
This piece, which gives the impression of a slight Martin dreadnought, can be imagined to be very useful at the wrecking site.
