Music

Johnny Cash profoundly impacted multiple genres, including country, rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel music. He sold over 90 million records and was inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, Gospel Music, Rockabilly, Nashville Songwriters, and the Memphis Music Halls of Fame. He received 13 GRAMMY® Awards, including a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999 and nine CMA awards, and was a recipient of Kennedy Center Honors and the National Medal of Arts.In the late 50s, Gibson made two SJ-200s for Cash that featured his name inlaid in mother of pearl on the fretboard and a distinctive pickguard designed by Johnny Cash himself. Gibson Custom is proud to release recreations of these guitars to honor his legacy. Only 100 of these beautiful and highly-requested instruments were hand-made by the expert luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop in Bozeman, Montana, as part of this remarkable limited run.Other specifications include:Body Style Super JumboBody Shape SJ-200Body Material AAA Flamed MapleTop AAA Sitka SpruceBack AAA Flamed MapleSide AAA Flamed MapleBracing Traditional Hand-Scalloped X-BracingBinding 5-ply Top, 3-ply Back, Single Ply Headstock and FretboardBody Finish Gloss Nitrocellulose LacquerProfile RoundScale Length 647.7 mm / 25.5 inFingerboard Material Indian RosewoodFingerboard Radius 304.8 mm / 12 inNeck Material 2-piece Flamed Maple with Walnut StringerFret Count 20Frets Standard Small CrownNut Material BoneNut Width 43.815 mm / 1.725 inInlays Mother of Pearl "Johnny Cash"Joint Compound Dovetail Neck-to-body Joint; Hot Hide GlueFinish GoldBridge Four Bar SJ-200 Moustache; RosewoodSaddle Material BoneTuning Machines Gotoh with Green Keystone ButtonPickguard Black Johnny Cash "Batwing"Truss Rod AdjustableTruss Rod Cover Black with Wide WhiteBridge Pins TUSQ - White with Black DotStrap Buttons Cream End PinStrings Gauge .012, .016, .024, .032, .042, .053Case Custom Johnny Cash HardshellAccessories Certificate of AuthenticityCase Gibson HardshellAMJBJC20VCS4 lbs 14 oz#21414019For more information on this Gibson instrument, please contact us.
