Here is a bit of a rarity – a Gibson SJ-200 LH – Left Handed – Custom Shop guitar in Wine Red, built during 2006 in Bozeman, Montana. The SJ, or Super Jumbo 200 first appeared in 1938 and has been in the Gibson catalogs ever since, though none were built between 1944 and 1946 due to wartime restrictions.

Here we’re looking at a 2007 Weber Bitterroot A-Style mandolin, built in Logan, Montana during 2007. Weber moved from Logan to Bend, Oregon in 2013. The Bitterroot A-Style series features thin, minimal decoration, wood figuring and finishing yet with Weber’s full build and materials quality.
The Gibson Country Western Model debuted in 1955 as a miracle of rebranding – it is the classic Gibson SJ-N, Southern Jumbo Natural, with a new label! The SJ-N appeared in 1942, became the Country Western in 1955, was again renamed the SJ-N in 1960, and finally dubbed the SJ Country Western in 1962. The model was discontinued in 1977. The Gibson Country Western model, like the SJ-N, pairs a Sitka Spruce top with Mahogany for the sides, back, body blocks and neck.

Here we have a Gibson J185 Original Jumbo bodied steel string in Antique Natural finish, built during 2005 at the Gibson Acoustic plant in Bozeman, Montana. The J-185 is a very good but likely under-appreciated guitar, being overshadowed by the better known and slightly larger J-200. The Gibson J185 and J200 have many similarities and the key differences are not always seen at first glance. Both feature the Jumbo body shape, Sitka Spruce top with Figured Maple for the sides and back, and Rosewood for the fingerboard and bridge.
