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.Model: Limited Johnny Cash SJ-200Limited Run: Only 100 Pieces WorldwideFinish Color: Vintage Cherry SunburstTop Wood: Solid AAA Sitka SpruceBack & Sides Wood: Solid AAA Flamed MapleNeck Wood: 2-Piece Flamed Maple with Walnut StringerNeck Profile: RoundedNeck Dimensions: .860 1st - .920 9thFingerboard: Indian RosewoodFingerboard Inlays: Mother-of-Pearl "Johnny Cash"Frets: 20Scale Length: 25.5"Width at Nut: 1.725"Nut Material: BoneHardware: GoldHeadstock: Mother-of-Pearl Gibson Logo and CrownBinding: 5-Ply Top, 3-Ply Back, Single-Ply Fingerboard and HeadstockBridge: Four Bar SJ-200 Rosewood MoustacheTuners: Gotoh with Green Keystone ButtonsPickguard: Custom Johnny Cash-Designed, BlackCase: Gibson Custom Johnny Cash HardshellCOA: Yes
