Been looking for a 50s J200 for a while now and very happy when this arrived yesterday. Had set out for 50s but to get a pre 55 is even better and first impressions it’s everything I had hoped for!! imgur.com/gallery/2xosbEk

Thanks guys, you would think in lockdown I would have loads of time to play it but with a busy household it’s the opposite. Hopefully get some peace to play her more soon. Here’s another pic with my electric imgur.com/gallery/XA36Of9

Any idea of its life story? I don’t but I’m sure it’s got a few to tell and more to come I’m sure

Congrats! Lovely guitar. I owned a reissue briefly and always regretted not keeping it. It's the reason I specced my Kim Walker with maple. Is your mahogany?
