I never paid much attention to the spelling of Bozeman until I started thinking about selling the guitar. It then dawned on me that the location of the custom shop was misspelled- Boseman instead of Bozeman. After talking with you last evening, I went back to the photos I took of the guitar yesterday afternoon and took a good look at the label inside the guitar's body. I never had reason to question the guitar's authenticity until your call regarding the serial number. I did get a chance to play the guitar at the Guitar center- my SJ-200 compares favorably to the one I played. Amazingly enough, the local Guitar Center had an SJ-200 in stock before I purchased this one. A former guitar instructor who is extremely knowledgeable about guitars, also inspected the instrument and praised it. When I took the guitar to Steve Kovacik to have the action lowered, he looked it over, played it and pronounced it a very nice guitar.
We're confident you'll love the tone and playability of this gorgeous 1958 Gibson J-200.The guitar arrived in its Gibson case with all of its Gibson paperwork. We can find evidence of at least a bridge reglue but no other repairs are evident. The frets are in excellent shape and the neck angle too is excellent. All parts appear to be original to the guitar except the strings. The finish exhibits moderate wear with a few case lid dings.
It has survived in wonderful original condition and even retains the rare original epsilon to G tuners. We were told their relative received the guitar in lieu of unpaid legal expenses.

Grover tuners were used on J-200s after Gibson ran out of G logo tuners. Current production figures estimate that 131 J-200 guitars were made in 1958. Some J-200 guitars made in 1958 received special tuners with an epsilon logo that was turned into a G for Gibson. Gibson purchased the Epiphone company in October in 1957 and received many unused parts from Epiphone's New York factory. At $200, it was the most expensive flat-top guitar in the Gibson line up. The Gibson SJ-200 acoustic guitar model was introduced to the public in 1938 after a short run of three guitars for singing cowboy Ray Whitley. You can contact me here to sell a Gibson guitar.
